A newcomer to the New York City classical music scene, tenor JASON WEISINGER is already in demand as both a singer and classical vocal collaborative pianist. He recently finished his vocal performance studies at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and has appeared at Tanglewood and Songfest.

His compositions have been heard at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and other major venues, and he has received composition grants from NEA, Meet-The-Composer, and New York Foundation for the Arts.
