I was fortunate to perform with the Slovenian youth choir, a group of talented college students who graced the Ljubljana Cathedral with their wonderful voices and exciting personalities. I was able to interview 4 of the choir tenors and basses and was even able to enjoy a live “freestyle” of a song called “Frog” that they learned from a local choir and performed with no piano or pitch reference! This was a once in a lifetime experience for me that I will remember for years to come and I hope that I can help you experience the immense passion and talent that these vocalists possess!!

In Vienna, I was extremely fortunate to see both the local orchestra as well as the orchestras and bands from my high school in California. When I spoke with the conductor, I could see that he not only has an immense passion and love for music but also gave back to the community by directing local orchestras and teaching children to play different instruments from a young age. Something that he mentioned that I also noticed in Vienna is the strong sense of community through music. So many different composers such as Mozart and Schubert were from Austria and have created a legacy for not just Austrians but for people all over the world to learn and perform music, and build a sense of community through doing so. That is exactly what this podcast is all about and I hope to help contribute to this cause through these episodes!
