The collaboration is an effort to include more local artists in ASO performances. In addition to course instruction, Cutsforth-Huber is also the director of Penn State 阿尔图纳’s student choral group, Ivyside Pride. Ajay is a 2020 graduate in the vocal performance track of the college’s Integrative Arts program.
“It has been so rewarding to watch Brandis grow from a freshman at Penn State 阿尔图纳 to the artist she is today and to be a part of her journey,” says Cutsforth-Huber. “Most voice teachers never have the opportunity to perform with their own students on a professional level. I am thrilled and excited to share this experience with Brandis.”
“Italian Night at the Symphony” is Saturday, 4月13日, at 7:30 p.m. at the Mishler Theatre in downtown 阿尔图纳. Tickets may be purchased online or by calling 814-944-9434.
