PERFORMING ARTS

THE 2023 NYC ARTS EXPERIENCE

"This trip taught me a lot. Not only did I learn amazing things from the dozens of locations we visited, but I also learned how important it is to live in the moment, and not miss things. Every show taught me something different,
from how your life can change in a second, to how lucky I am to be here, alive. "


"It took the tragedy of the holocaust deeper than any other work featuring the travesty. It was more than a painful memory. It was an insight on mortality and legacy."

There was a conviction in Violetta’s voice, and a phenomenal control over her projection, all while maintaining the operatic vibrato and staying on pitch, [which] rendered the performance incredibly emotional. As someone who has been trained in South Asian classical music and loves learning Western classical music, I was captivated by the uniqueness, actually, of the operatic style." 

At Lincoln Center with Metropolitan Opera Chorister Jonathan Scott.

"I would say it has elements that are similar to American piedmont blues in those early days (see Fulton Allen and Bull City Red). It asks harmonic questions."

"It forces us to think about legacy. What do we leave behind? "

"The retelling of Greek mythology that Hadestown presents is so immersive that it’s truly its own story, and even though we know the ending, we hold out hope until the very end."
