RCM | GREAT EXHIBITIONISTS: WONDER
In the borderland between a dream and reality lies Wonder — an exploratory state where most artistic discoveries take place. This unique event does not have a defined structure: it's not a concert nor is it a drama. It is an artistic wonder, a dream that will only take place once and turn into a memory.
Emily will perform as soprano soloist.
