Juilliard "Ask the Artist" - New Featured Artist!
- The newest Juilliard “Ask the Artist” activity is now live!
-
"Ask the Artist" is an opportunity for Nord Anglia Education (NAE) students to ask questions of Juilliard Artists who have chosen the performing arts as a career.
-
For the next “Ask the Artist,” we're pleased to feature Juilliard alumna and multiple Grammy winning mezzo-soprano, Isabel Leonard!
-
Please read Isabel’s bio, watch her perform, and then post questions you would like to ask on the Padlet. You can ask her anything that you are curious about, including questions about her practice routines and vocal exercises, motivation or inspiration, experiences performing on the world’s leading operatic stages, strategies for embodying different characters (and genders!), other the types of music she performs, her involvement with charities and foundations, or other curiosities that come to mind!
- Isabel will read all of the questions received and answer a selected number by video.
Have a great week everyone. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries you may have, and keep in contact! We love to see and hear what you have been up to with the Global Campus.
Many thanks,
The Global Campus Team
