We encourage you to support the Handel Aria Competition by making a tax-deductible donation.  The funds are used to cover live accompaniment, prizes, and the costs of participating for finalists. After hearing that the expense of coming to Madison, WI for the finals was preventing singers from applying, we decided to offer $600 in travel money to every single finalist.  We did this to encourage as many young artists as possible to participate, and saw an immediate doubling of applications. We invite you to help us cover this $3,600 commitment to the emerging artists we are supporting through the Competition, as well as the professional accompaniment by the Madison Bach Musicians and prize money of $7,000.
