Huge congratulations to Palmarius member, Dr. Sharon How, for finishing her Doctorate Degree in Piano Performance! Brava! Opus Artis Institute of Music is proud of you! ❤️

As one of the artistic pillars of the Opus Artis organization, the Viva Voce Voice Lab brought the first half of our concert series to a stunning close with their program, Resonance. Their powerful voices not only filled the space with breathtaking harmonies but also embodied our shared mission: to elevate the education and practice of vocal arts in the country to the highest standards of excellence.

My deepest gratitude goes to Ms. Camille Lopez Molina, Mr. Pablo, and the incredible Viva Voce artists for their unwavering support of the Opus Artis vision. It’s always a beautiful experience to play for this excellent group of opera singers. ❤️
