Founded in 1915, Seagle Music Colony is the oldest summer vocal training program in the United States, located in the town of Schroon Lake in the Adirondack Mountain Region of upstate New York.

Their summer program is a nine-week session in which 32 young artists selected through a rigorous national audition/selection process, receive intensive training in vocal technique, musicality, acting and career preparation. As part of this training, they produce six full-scale productions of opera and musical theatre each summer season for presentation to the public.

This summer Seagle Music Colony celebrates 100 years and here to tell us more is General Director, Tony Kostecki. Click here to listen to Tony's interview.
