A performing arts enrichment organization dedicated to the arts and artists in our community
Where passion meets performance.
Our Passion for Performance
Break a Leg Studios is a performing arts enrichment organization dedicated to supporting both the arts and the artists who make our community vibrant. Through educational programs—ranging from Opera 101 to Hip Hopera—we aim to make classical music and opera more approachable, enjoyable, and engaging for all.
We are equally passionate about nurturing the next generation of performers. Our newest initiative, Voices of the Pines, is a vocal ensemble for singers in grades 4–12. This program empowers young artists both on and off the stage, equipping them with healthy vocal technique, confidence-building skills, and meaningful performance opportunities.
Rooted in a deep love of music—with a special focus on opera but an appreciation for all genres—Break a Leg Studios is committed to expanding artistic experiences in Moore County. Our growing vision includes the Chiaroscuro Concert Series, welcoming professional performers to the Sandhills; presenting Moore County’s first full opera production; launching the Impresario Opera Book Club; and relaunching our Foundations in Opera courses.
Break a Leg Studios champions creativity, community, and the transformative power of the performing arts.
Break a Leg Studios nurtures creativity and empowers musicians and arts appreciators to grow, explore, and express themselves with confidence.

Voices of the Pines
Voices of the Pines is Break a Leg Studios’ newest vocal education initiative—an inclusive, uplifting vocal ensemble for students in grades 4–12 who love to sing, want to develop healthy vocal habits, and are seeking a meaningful musical community. With high-level musicianship and joyful collaboration at its core, this program gives young artists a place to discover their voices and create something beautiful together.
Kicking off in January 2026, Voices of the Pines will dive into 16 weeks of music-making that lead to our spring Cabaret—a vibrant performance of Great American Songbook classics and beloved jazz standards. Singers will explore healthy vocal technique, music literacy, ensemble skills, and expressive performance—all guided by passionate teaching artists committed to nurturing confident, well-rounded musicians.
This pilot program will launch as a combined ensemble representing our two future groups—Bel Canto (grades 4–7) and Verismo (grades 8–12). Singers will have opportunities for solo features, participate in masterclasses led by guest artists, and may be invited to additional performance engagements throughout the semester, including National Anthem performances and community events.
Voices of the Pines aims to evolve into a vibrant center for youth vocal artistry, expanding over time into multiple ensembles that provide early childhood musicianship, introductory singing, intermediate training, and advanced performance opportunities.
A season with Voices of the Pines nurtures:
-
Healthy, age-appropriate vocal development
-
Strong music literacy and sight-reading foundations
-
Ensemble skills, blend, and artistic sensitivity
-
Exposure to diverse musical styles
-
Confidence, teamwork, and personal expression
Our collaborative pianist and music director work side by side to shape a rehearsal environment that is supportive, structured, and artistically inspiring.
