ENMU Music Students National Winners
ENMU music major, Elisandro "RJ" Reza, of Artesia, NM, and recent ENMU music alumnus (2025), Lazaro Perez, of Victoria, TX, competed June 25-28 in the National Student Auditions of the National Association of Teachers of Singing at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, having earned spots among singers from the very best music conservatories and collegiate music programs across the nation.
Both students earned a spot among the sixteen national semi-finalists through a rigorous audition process, consisting of a regional audition in Texas and virtual national semi-final and final rounds of competition, naming each of them as one of sixteen national semi-finalists in their respective categories. In Philadelphia, Elisandro competed with fifteen other national semi-finalists in the Senior TTB Classical division and was named one of three national finalists, while Lazaro competed with fifteen other national semi-finalists in the Senior TTB Musical Theatre division and was named one of three national finalists. Both RJ and Lazaro sang in the final concert, and each student won second place nationally in their respective division.
Both students studied voice at ENMU with Dr. Stephanie Beinlich and were accompanied at the piano by their ENMU vocal coach, Ms. Kayla Liechty.
Congratulations, Elisandro and Lazaro, for sharing the Greyhound roo far and wide through your singing!
