| Source Moment: | At Source I learned how to more clearly communicate with my collaborator, along with making many connections with art song lovers that I still cherish. The people I met at Source were so kind and nurturing and I never felt I was in a competition trying to beat everyone as we were all so supportive of each other's work. I am so thankful that I was able to do Source as a young singer because it taught me the depth of knowledge required when performing art song, and the importance of a connection and mutual respect with your collaborator. |
