Emerging Artist Award: Music

“Winning the SBCF Emerging Artist Award meant that I could travel to the Czech Republic with an incredible vocal training program called OpernFest Prague. I was able to work beside many members of the head leadership at The National Theatre in Prague (Narodni Divadlo) working on my performance and vocal technique. This experience ended in my audition for 8 of the top theaters in Prague as well as a performance with the orchestra of The National Theatre. All of this complimented by the beautiful and storybook city of Prague. This grant also allowed me to extend my studies here in Boston, beginning voice lessons with an incredible teacher from New England Conservatory. I am very grateful to the SBCF for allowing me to continue my passion for opera and performance. Their Emerging Artist Award has refreshed my commitment to such a beautiful and life-changing art form.”
