This is the largest vocal competition in Kentucky, and the partnership has positioned UK Opera Theatre as a Richard Tucker Music Foundation top-recommended opera program. Winners receive opportunities beyond scholarship money. Alltech Vocal Scholars have contributed to Alltech’s philanthropic efforts in Haiti by teaching music to Haitian primary school children. They have also performed at numerous Alltech events, including the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games ™ in 2010 and 2014, the company’s annual international conference, Ambassador Dinners around the world and Alltech’s annual holiday event, the Alltech Celebration of Song.
