“I know that this opera will open up a lot of doors for artists, for singers around the country, from around the world. For other writers coming into the space. And that was too important for me to say no to.” ACF will present the video premiere of @neaarts Study Group No. 2. Tuesday, January 24 at 4 p.m. CT. On ACF’s YouTube, join us as ACF Board Member Lee Bynum, Minnesota author and Hmong-American Kao Kalia Yang, and Minnesota-based composer Jocelyn Hagen discuss Yang’s book The Song Poet. @mnopera will be presenting Yang and Hagen’s upcoming opera based on the book this spring.
