Each semester, students at Baylor are given opportunity to be involved in many distinct aspects of music making that include symphony/orchestra, choral ensembles, private studio classes, opera, and more. One meaningful and unique aspect of the Church Music program at Baylor is that our students are given the same opportunities to excel in the area of performance as their counter-parts in performance-specific degrees. With this unified approach, church music students are regularly participating in opera productions throughout the school year. 

In this week's student spotlight, we highlight the work of vocalists who have participated in opera performances during the 2023-2024 school year.
