What makes a song come alive in performance? Beyond beautiful sound, vocalists bring music to life through interpretation, shaping text, tone, and emotion into a deeply personal artistic statement. This session invites audiences to explore the artistry behind vocal performance. Participants will learn how singers approach a score, uncover layers of meaning in text and music, and make interpretive choices that connect with listeners on an emotional level. Through live demonstrations and discussion, this talk offers an inside look at how performers transform notes and words into compelling storytelling.
