Frederica von Stade said: "I love being with my pal, the wonderful Jake Heggie, to celebrate the great efforts of San Francisco Opera Guild in reaching out to the young people of the Bay Area. It means so much to me because I know firsthand of these efforts and have seen the amazing results. I applaud the Guild's Director of Education Caroline Altman and her work with the Opera Scouts and the amazing team at the Guild. Music changed my life, and I'm excited to celebrate how it changes the lives of our precious young people."
Jake Heggie said: "I'm delighted to join with my great friend Frederica von Stade to spotlight the important, ongoing work in music education made possible by San Francisco Opera Guild. Through the power of opera, music and theater, youngsters in the Guild's programs can experience wonder, possibility, new connections and unexpected, transformative journeys. Journeys that can empower them throughout their lives."
