Federation of the Art Song

The Federation of the Art Song (FAS) was founded in 2021 by Alta Malberg (President), and Martin Néron, co-artistic directors of the organization.

Believing strongly in the value of songs of all genres sung in classical style, FAS helps deserving singers and collaborative pianists to develop their artistic abilities and identities. Our goal is to educate the public on the expanding catalogue of song repertoire from a multitude of sources and communities, thus benefitting audiences and artists alike.

THE COMPONENTS OF FAS ARE:

Fellowship Award

Songs on the Move

Songs from Outside the Box

If Music be the Food of Love*

*Funded in part by the Ariel Eden Malberg Memorial Fund
