Alysha Umphress sings Brandy, by Elliot Lurie in her Final Program at the 2023 American Traditions Vocal Competition, representing the Popular Music of 1950-1980 category. Alysha is accompanied by Assaf Gleizner, Xavier Breaker and Marc Chesanow, and sponsored by Barry and Naomi Cohen.
The American Traditions Vocal Collection celebrates, performs and preserves all classic styles of American music. Founded as a part of Savannah Onstage in 1993, the ATC was first a vehicle strictly for Black Singers to perform Black American Music. Today, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization promotes all classic styles of American songs and focuses on what musically connects us. The ATC accomplishes this through musical events and educational offerings, such as classroom experiences for local students, their regional high school singing competition, the Junior ATC, and their annual, international vocal competition for professional artists, the American Traditions Vocal Competition. The organization annually awards over $35,000 in cash prizes, and is dedicated to enriching the lives of audiences through musical diversity, and engaging the minds of tomorrow’s musicians and music lovers.
