Exchange – Young Voices

The partnership between the Bayreuth Festival of Young Artists and Rotary International has a long-standing tradition and serves as an important platform for international cultural exchange and the promotion of emerging talent.

In 2026, as part of the NGSE project, three young singers from different cultural backgrounds will come together: Australian soprano Brianna Stuart, Slovenian mezzo-soprano Kristina Fekonja, and Brazilian tenor Paul Colmenares Arangu. Together, they will develop concert programs that blend diverse musical traditions and personal artistic backgrounds.

The opportunity to meet and collaborate with artists from the Richard Wagner Festival in Bayreuth will be particularly interesting.

The project brings the concept of RE:SONANZ to life: young voices from different parts of the world engage in a vibrant musical dialogue with one another and with the audience.
