♥️ My reasons for loving and supporting the Lakes Area Music Festival in Minnesota go back 17 years… or is it 18!?

♥️ The full letter gives an overview of their extended contributions to the community. Check out the LakesAreaMusic.org website, because they offer SO MUCH!

♥️ If you feel that it’s an arts organization’s role to provide services to people, then it’s our civic responsibly to support those that do that work! And I urge you to donate to lakesareamusic.org/support — just like I do!

♥️ And yes, I’ll be singing Carmen at LAMF for the first time this summer — and yes I’m excited for this — and yes I’m thrilled to join my colleagues Paul Appleby, Evan Hughes, Katerina Burton, Taylor Ward, Lisenka Heijboer Castañón, and Christian Reif.
