PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
My Opera Journey
My Opera Journey was a captivating concert held on July 12, 2024, at Payette Hall, VSO School of Music. This performance featured Mahtab Haghighi as the vocalist, Roshanak FarzadKish on piano, and Soroush Shahres on viola. It was a celebration where the human voice transformed into an instrument of profound emotion, expression, and transcendence.
We invited our audience into the enchanting world of opera and classical vocal music, where each note painted a delicate brushstroke upon the canvas of the soul. From the grandeur of opera to the haunting beauty of folk songs, our journey traversed the rich landscapes of global musical traditions.
Through this concert, we explored a diverse array of classical and folk music from around the world, revealing the stories and memories woven into each melody. My Opera Journey was not only a showcase of musical heritage but also a testament to our commitment to fostering cultural appreciation and unity through the universal language of music.
