A message from Riki Turofsky
When I was a student at Opera School, we did not have master classes with visiting artists. After graduation I participated in classes with exceptional artists like Lotte Lehmann, Pierre Bernac and Martial Singher. Those unique experiences are indelibly printed in my memory and were crucial to my development as a singer. It gives me great pleasure to fund this series of Master Classes in Voice and to have the brilliant conductor Jordan de Souza as our special guest this year. I plan to continue to sponsor other great artists in this series in the years to come.
Sincerely, Riki Turofsky
