The Shoshana Foundation was established in 1986 with the mission of providing funding and career support to young, emerging American opera singers.  The Foundation does not select the recipient, rather participating opera companies and music schools nominate one of their own singers of outstanding promise.  Both current and past recipients are eligible for supplemental grants, when appropriate and subject to approval by the Foundation's Board of Directors.                                               John Moriarty Central City Opera Laura Canning Houston Grand Opera Francesca Zambello Glimmerglass Opera Festival Jacqueline Schmidt Juilliard Opera Center Robert Sirota Manhattan School of Music            Joel Lester Mannes College of Music Dan Novak Lyric Opera of Chicago Susan T.
