“I am extremely excited to work with fellow emerging artists during my time as a Vocal Fellow! All on unique trajectories, we share a common passion for classical music. With the guidance of our mentors, and by working with The Thirteen on a variety of works, we will be able to expand our artistry tenfold”.

“I’m looking forward to this opportunity to sing and perform alongside people from other underrepresented communities. Speaking as a trans woman, I don’t see many people like me in the classical music world. I have few peers and role models to look to for guidance. I hope that by performing here, I can be another of my community for others to look to for inspiration and guidance”.

“I bring a passion for musical storytelling as a way to spark dialogue and foster connection across difference. The Thirteen Vocal Fellowship is a special opportunity to expand my network of artists with aligned values to collaborate and share with. During my fellowship, I look forward to deepening and broadening my skills as a choral artist and advocate for the arts”.
