The 2011 ARIAS: Emerging Young Artist Award has been awarded to soprano, Layla Claire!

Soprano Layla Claire’s “penetrating purity” (New York Times) has quickly made her a sought-after artist on the world’s preeminent operatic, symphonic and recital stages.

In 2010 she became the inaugural recipient of the Hildegard Behrens Foundation Award, an honor she is immensely proud to receive, once again, this season.
