MolitvaI would like to thank JJ for so beautifully coaching and playing this recital while always encouraging me to stay true to my own artistic vision,
Professor Williams for restoring my joy in vocal exploration and always indulging my technical curiosity,
and my parents for their unwavering support.
I would also like to thank my two best friends, Valérie Filloux and Lauren Randolph for their late-night conversations and constant encouragement, as well as consultations on programming.
Finally, I would like to thank Theresa Brancaccio and Kurt Hansen for their seven years of mentorship and support, no matter what challenges this career brings.
