About  Atеlίεя S and it's mission:

 

Atеlίεя S, officially started in 2004 as an umbrella not for profit arts organization which grew from the private vocal studio of Canadian baritone Stuart Graham.  Mr. Graham began his first pedagogique foray in 1994 as Artist in Residence at the Centre Cultural de Drummondville (Québec).  In a few short years, his studio became a noted training ground for vocal artists of all disciplines (classical/opera, pop, jazz and country) with students and professional artists coming in from all parts of the province of Québec preparing for their exams, auditions and professional engagements (recording and live).  Enjoying a very high rate of success, his clients were readily taken on to graduate performance studies (with full scholarship) at McGill University, Université de Montréal, Berkley School of Music (Boston) and engaged with l’Opéra de Montréal, Opéra de Québec, Cirque du Soleil (Las Vegas), Festival Just pour Rire, and several productions with Luc Plamondon’s “Notre Dame de Paris” (Paris cast) and revival of his “Starmania”.

 

Mr. Graham relocated to Toronto in the fall of 2001 and after a sabbatical year opened his private studio in downtown Toronto.  “As talent presents itself, I am compelled to find an opportunity to showcase it and allow it the exposure and recognition it deserves,” says Graham.  From that his mandate grew and, thus, we find Atelier S helping to fulfill the needs of the artist as they try to make that big leap from the student career to the lyric profession.  Today, Atelier S operates in Toronto, Montréal and Mexico City, offering resources that have seen singers move with wonderful success in national and international competitions and on to the opera and concert “mainstage” throughout Canada, New York, Sarasota, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Barcelona, throughout Italy, Brasov (Romania), Burgos (Bulgary), Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Mexico City, Santiago.  Upcoming projects and productions of Atelier S include the opening of a new professional touring opera company in Mexico City, in collaboration with the Canadian and Mexican federal governments, with the express purpose of engaging young Canadian and Mexican lyric talent to debut roles of the standard operatic repertoire and that of the immensely rich Mexican operatic tradition.

 

Our mission is as follows:

 

  • Atelier S is specialized in aiding emerging talent in their transition from the student career to the lyric profession.
  • Artist Incubator: a forum where the artist may come and explore, train and workshop their concert/recital/roles in preparation for the audition, competition and professional engagement needs of the individual artist.
  • Performance and career coaching with a network of internationally renowned artists and pedagogues.
  • Maintain the “Art of Song” Recital Series
  • A professional opera company dedicated to the advancement of emerging Canadian and Mexican singers.

A relative new comer to the Toronto scene (formerly of Montréal – affiliated with the Conservatoire de Musique de Québec á Montréal), Mr. Graham’s studio has quickly taken root and the artists under his tutelage have enjoyed much success, both at a student level and in the professional arena locally and points abroad (Université de Montreal, McGill University, Conservatoire de Musique de Québec à Montréal, Berkley School of Music – Boston, Britten-Pears – England, Royal Academy of Music– London, concert & opera engagements thoughout Canada, USA, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Czech & Slovak Rep., Bulgaria & Romania).
