The next Michael Bublé or Idina Menzel could be discovered but it'll depend on the audience's votes when the American Pops Orchestra presents the third annual "NextGen: Finding the Voices of Tomorrow."

"We think it's important that the best college singers throughout the Mid-Atlantic have a chance to explore the Great American Songbook and perform these treasured songs before enthusiastic fans," says Luke Frazier, APO's conductor. "Best of all, the performer who receives the most votes will return to sing with the full APO during a future concert."

Student vocalists from the following universities have made it to the initial rounds of competition; their performances will be opening for voting at these dates and times:

SEMI-FINALS: Friday, April 24 at 8:00 pm EDT

FINALS: Saturday, April 25 at 8:00 pm EDT

WINNER ANNOUNCED: Sunday, April 26 at 8:00 pm EDT
