It's Black History Month! This February, we are going to celebrate Black voices in the Opera world AND introduce you to this season's Junior Executive Board!

LET'S KICK IT OFF WITH JEB MEMBER THALIA MOORE! We thought we'd start off with this introduction because Thalia has also officially signed on as our new administrative coordinator as of 2023. We are ecstatic to have her the office keeping this machine running with her many talents. More on Ms Moore:
Thalia Moore (soprano) is currently a student in the Bachelor of Music program at California State University, Fullerton. There, as a student under Mark Goodrich, she has performed as Mrs. Ford from Merry Wives of Windsor during the 2021 Fall Opera Scenes, Nella from Buoso’s Ghost during the 2022 Spring Opera, and Madga from La Rondine during the 2022 Fall Opera Scenes.

Before CSU Fullerton, Thalia was a student at local community college Norco College as a music major. Graduating with four associates degrees, Thalia learned that she has a passion for community engagement and recruitment, giving other people the opportunity to fall in love with the music that has become her passion. She is grateful for everyone who has helped her progress this far including her family, her partner and her previous teachers.

When asked about one of her favorite black artists in the Opera world today, Thalia chose to celebrate composer Rosephanye Powell. Here's what she has to say:

"Rosephanye Powell is a composer, born in 1962 in Alabama, has become one of the most well-known American Woman Choral composer, but she has a moving collection of art song for solo voice and piano. The reason why I picked Rosephanye is because of her compositional artistry. This year I started working on her spiritual song cycle Then, Here and Now, and it helped reconnect me with my purpose in being a music major. She writes so well for the voice that it’s difficult not to be moved by the music she composes."
