The competition is open to students at Grand Rapids' area colleges and universities, to give them a professional platform to compete, perform, and gain valuable feedback. This is the first time WMU has been invited to the competition.
The competition is coordinated by West Michigan's only professional opera company, Opera Grand Rapids, which has been producing world-class opera in West Michigan since 1967.
Helm is also involved in a vocal group with other WMU students— The Four Corners Vocal Jazz Quartet includes Gold Company members and is currently recording their debut album.
