ERIC WILSON PRIZE FOR SINGERS: Help elevate artists' entrepreneurial skills

Elevating entrepreneurship as a core competency for artists is a priority focus of Living Opera. Directly supporting a singer at a critical career stage is instrumental in shaping their journey and enabling their path to success. To scale this impact, we are seeking a recognized platform or business to provide all applicants to the Eric Wilson Prize for Singers, access to a complimentary entrepreneurship course.

The Eric Wilson Prize for Singers honors the legacy of a businessman who challenged artists to think like entrepreneurs. Each year, Living Opera, will grant a $5,000 award to a singer who demonstrates artistic excellence and entrepreneurial vision. By extending benefits to all applicants to undertake entrepreneurial skill development, we can create a multiplier effect.

Soula Parassidis and Norman Reinhardt, performers and co-founders of Living Opera have been engaging the fine arts community with their motto to “create the culture we want to live in” - a culture of purpose, story and excellence. Their goal is to instill a dynamic, entrepreneurial mindset in each artist they encounter. Six years later, Living Opera community members around the world have written books, started businesses, started international singing careers, and some have switched professions and gained massive success.

Help us nurture the talent of tomorrow.

In recognition of your support, Living Opera will offer a co-branded press release and media campaign with national coverage in each year the course is offered on a complimentary basis.

This is an opportunity for a corporate or education partner to appear as a champion of entrepreneurship in the arts.
