Hello! My name is Zachary Douglas, and I’m a lyric tenor and music education student.

I’ve been given an incredible opportunity this Summer 2026 to travel to Chicago for an opera program where I will perform, train, and grow alongside passionate musicians and professionals. Chicago is alive with music and artistry, and this experience will refine my craft, strengthen my stage presence, and prepare me for future opera auditions.

This isn’t just a trip—it’s an investment in my calling. It will equip me to inspire others as a future educator and performer, while also preparing me for additional graduate school applications, training programs, and professional opportunities across the country.

I’m raising funds to help cover expenses including:

• Travel and housing in Chicago

• Meals, transportation, and related costs

• Future opera auditions, graduate school applications, and travel

Any contribution — no matter the size — brings me closer to these goals and supports my journey of growth, purpose, and impact through music. Thank you for helping me turn opportunity into reality.

With gratitude,

Zachary Douglas ❤️
