Ending off the summer with a bunch of concerts!!
On Sunday, August 14th at 5PM ADT, @tristan_zaba and Lynette Wahlstrom premiere "Dead Reckoning" at the 2022 Opera From Scratch Festival in Halifax! The opera is based on the life of Nova Scotian sailor Joshua Slocum, who was the first person to circumnavigate the entire globe alone in a sailboat.
On Monday, August 15th at 4PM MT, I perform Mahler's Symphony No. 5 with the @aspenmusicfest Conducting Academy Orchestra!
