Noteworthy: A Conversation With...

Today, Noteworthy celebrates the release of its 10th episode and I am humbled to have one of my greatest teachers and mentors join me as we close our first season. 

Join Professor Nancy Hermiston and me as we talk about her drive as an educator, her absolute pride for her student past and present, and her input on the importance of diversity and the rich atmosphere it creates within the Opera Ensemble.

This week join Eva Tavares and me as we talk about her path after graduating and how she has been finding the right balance between her career and her personal life.

I am beyond thankful that she was willing to share not only the highlights of her time on tour but also some of the struggles she faced as an artist dealing with anxiety. I know for a fact that many of us out there will relate to her story and can find comfort in knowing that we are not alone and that it is very much part of the process of being a performing artist.

This week's episode is a rather special one for me as I got the incredible opportunity to speak with one of my favorite mentors. Maestro Leslie Dala and I talk about his journey as a young musician growing up in Toronto, his eventual move west to Vancouver for school, and his career as Associate Conductor of the Vancouver Opera and Music Director of the Vancouver Bach Choir.

Maestro Dala’s expansive career that has taken him across this country and around the world but for many of us who were/and are apart of the UBC Opera Ensemble, he has been one of our greatest mentors. His passions, drive, and limitless knowledge are simply an inspiration.
