Nolan Peters Places
in Young Artist Art
Song Competition
Nolan Peters (sixth form) competed
in the Young Artist Art Song
Competition, held at the University
of Maryland, Baltimore County
(UMBC) in October. This highly
competitive regional competition is
held for advanced high school singers.
He sang Franz Schubert’s “Wanderers
Nachtlied” (a setting of the famed
Goethe poem). The panel of judges
included leading singers and teachers
from Maryland. He was selected as a
finalist and performed in the honors
recital at the end of the event. This was
a successful first step for the student
as he prepares for college entrance
auditions. His teacher is alumna,
Melanie Regan ’00.
