Bel Canto, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to providing quality vocal performances and educational programs to Alaskan audiences.

The group was formed in 2002 by singers who met at the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival. We realized there was an unfilled niche for mature singers in the Southcentral Alaska region. All of our singers are classically trained and many are music educators. Our goal is to provide performance opportunities to singers through a series of musical concerts, master classes, and shows and in so doing, provide quality entertainment and education for our growing audience!
Our 2010-2011 season began a new tradition of inviting talented individuals from our community to be guest artists for our shows. And what a wonderful addition they have been – our grateful thanks to: BuzzOPlex Marionettes (Buzz Schwall), Brian Hutton, Christine Keene and Sara Shipp for their delightful contributions to our fundraiser: “Bel Canto Pulls Some Strings”, and Waylon Waddell, for his wonderful performance in our final show of last season: “Bel Canto Unleashed!”

We also believe in the support and development of our community. Our members have sung at a variety of events including naturalization ceremonies, charitable fundraisers and as guest artists for Anchorage Opera Guild. Additionally, we provide free tickets to numerous community organizations whose clients may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy shows such as ours.
