ONTARIO — Stingel Elementary student Breckelle Miller is already a vocal star.
The 9-year-old, who has also been tutored at Richland Academy of the Arts, won the American Protégé International Vocal Competition, 2024.
As a result, she will sing “O Holy Night” in the Winners Recital at Carnegie Hall, one of the world’s grandest performance venues in New York City, on Dec. 14, 2024.
Richland Academy of the Arts proudly congratulates Miller, who competed in the Young Singers 5-10 age group, in the category of Classical Repertoire. The competition was open to solo vocalists and vocal groups of all ages, and nationalities.
This year the event had its largest number of competitive applicants on record from 73 countries. Participants were required to submit video recording materials
for the audition.
A panel of distinguished, qualified judges evaluated the audition videos.
First-place winners received a $300 scholarship. Also at the Winners recital, the Judges’ Favorite Award Trophy, Judges’ Distinction Award Trophy and other Special Awards will be granted based on the judges’ recommendations.
Breckelle is a voice student of Bailey Maxfield at Richland Academy of the Arts and Dan Fleming of Mansfield.
