Dorothy Yanish, a highly regarded voice teacher and mezzo-soprano performer who performed as Mother Abbess in our 2023 production of The Sound of Music, will lead a voice workshop for The Community Players of Concord members at the Players Studio on Saturday, June 29 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
This workshop will address some basic principles of voice technique: 1) physical balance; 2) breathing; and 3) presence – a framework for everything you want to do with your voice. We will learn by singing in harmony and alone, using vocal music from Gregorian chant to Broadway.

She has been on the faculties of Keene State College, Franklin Pierce University, and Concord Community Music School, and also teaches at her private studio in Peterborough. She is the former Artistic Director of The Raylynmor Opera. With a B.S. in Music Education and an M.M. in Vocal Performance, she has taught students of all ages and skill levels.
