#36 - Dr. Annika Socolofsky | Mitten Backstage

Since graduating from the University of Michigan years ago, Dr. Annika Socolofsky has cemented herself as a powerful voice in the contemporary classical space as a singer, composer, and performer collaborating with artists from around the globe. It had been a few years since I sat down and chatted with her, and what a wonderful conversation that followed with this podcast chat! We catch up and chat about our lives, including her move to Colorado and the challenges that came with it during 2020, her upcoming creative projects with Latitude 49 and her new artist collective Anticx, and the joys of music-making and teaching reigniting the passion being able to teach in-person again and after performing at Gaudeamus Muziekweek in Utrecht this month!
