Claudia Fabella

2026 Singing Scholarship Recipient

Claudia Fabella is a 15-year-old vocalist from Rego Park, New York, whose connection to music is both intuitive and deeply analytical. Raised in a musically engaged household, she has developed her voice alongside a growing interest in music theory, composition, and the broader traditions of classical music.

For Claudia, singing is a constant presence and a primary form of expression. She approaches music as a language that extends beyond words, combining emotional instinct with intellectual curiosity. Her independent study of composers and musical structure informs her performances, as she continues to expand her understanding of how music communicates meaning.

Claudia hopes to pursue advanced training in classical voice and eventually build a career in performance. The AQF scholarship will support her as she attends the Manhattan School of Music Summer Intensive, where she will refine her vocal technique, strengthen her musicianship, and work closely with experienced faculty in a conservatory setting.
