The Luxon-Rose foundation - Supporting voices of the future

Where excellence becomes exceptional

The Luxon-Rose foundation gives the most gifted young voices what talent alone cannot supply, the teachers, the time, and the tradition to help them make the leap from promise to mastery.

OUR MISSION

A living tradition of

vocal mastery.

Every singer who reaches the world’s great stages was, at some point, a young voice in a room with a great teacher. The Foundation exists to create these moments.

We bring emerging singers together with some of the finest artists, coaches and teachers alive. They perform. They are heard. They grow.

The Luxon-Rose Foundation is a charitable foundation advancing the art and education of classical singing. (Charity registration pending.)
