Three opera, one week.

AVA farewell recital last night was exciting and slightly disappointing. The only graduate student this year, Christopher Boudouc, could not make it due to work schedule. He is singing with an opera company in Texas (good for him!) Nevertheless, we were very glad to see all current student studying at AVA on one stage, doing what they do best, presenting audiences with touching melody and excellent vocal technique. Na Li Youm, a young soprano, sang a Beautiful melody in her native language, Korean. (Kudos to the two gentlemen sitting behind me, who ultimately concluded that the song must be in French) Maria Aleida was also fabulous in her nightingale like high range, bravo! Resident artist, Michele Johnson, who we have seen in several previous performances, sung "Summertime" and a duet in G.Gershwin's > with Noram Garrett , both singers were fantastic, they brought a such sweet moment to the audiences.

I was able to find videos of some singers:
