The Shoshana Foundation was established in 1986 with the mission of providing funding and career support to young, emerging American opera singers.  The Foundation does not select the recipient, rather participating opera companies and music schools nominate one of their own singers of outstanding promise.  Both current and past recipients are eligible for supplemental grants, when appropriate and subject to approval by the Foundation's Board of Directors.           Brian Speck                                           Richard Kessler Houston Grand Opera                          Mannes School of Music                                                                The New School Brian Zeger The Juilliard School                             Dan Novak                                                                 Lyric Opera of Chicago Dr. James Gandre                                 Ryan Opera Center Manhattan School of Music                                                                          Carrie-Ann Matheson Robert Stroker                                       Merola Opera Temple University                                 Adler Fellowship Myriam Mazouzi                                    Joshua Winograde Opera National de Paris                       LA Opera Young Artists
