Heafner Williams Vocal Competition Finals

Monday, March 30, 2026 at Lincoln Cultural Center from 3:00 pm

“The Heafner/Williams Vocal Competition seeks to identify and offer assistance to highly talented vocalists and to encourage the theatrical vocal arts. As Americans who were trained here and have sung around the world, we have both been greatly assisted in their careers by having won many contests and scholarships. We truly understand how these encouragements not only help financially, but give a boost to the spirit to know that one’s talent is appreciated and awarded. It is our hope to help further the career aims of talented young people this year and in future years.”

the late Robert Williams and his wife Carolyn Heafner, founders of the Heafner Williams Vocal Competition

Carolyn, along with select judges, a skilled committee and the staff of the Lincoln Cultural Center, continue to facilitate this regional competition in memory of Robert and hope to see in continue for many year.
