The Loren L. Zachary Society for the Performing Arts

Welcome to the Loren L. Zachary Society for the
Performing Arts Website

The Loren L Zachary Society for the Performing Arts was founded in 1972 by the late Dr. Loren L. Zachary, and Nedra Zachary. The purpose of the organization is to help further the careers of young opera singers by providing financial assistance and performance opportunities. The Annual Loren L. Zachary National Vocal Competition, now in its 52nd year, has helped launch the International careers of many singers.
