Recording Days welcome singers and other performing artists to create high-quality video and audio recordings at subsidized rates.

Artists work with professional sound engineers in the acoustically excellent Marc A. Scorca Hall of the National Opera Center.

Recording Days are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
