From our lovely and incredibly talented Eva Martinez, now studying operatic voice at Yale:

"So unbelievably excited to share that I will be making my Carnegie Hall debut on November 11th as the soprano soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Oratorio Society of New York under the baton of Kent Tritle! I’m so lucky to be able to help open their season with this concert and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!! Grab your tickets now and I’ll see you there 🤗"
