This fall, Megan will begin a virtual tour of her lecture on musician identity, a hot topic about which so many musicians crave to understand more. In timeless "heal thyself" fashion, Megan digs into identity theory, athletic identity research, and the existing research on musician identity, which yet remains limited. She walks the audience through common elements of the musician experience, equipping listeners with greater enlightenment and empowerment for navigating their own journeys.

On August 8th, The Milal Orchestra will present a virtual concert of Disney songs, on which Megan will perform "A Whole New World" together with baritone Brock Johnson. The mission of this unique orchestra is to embrace and include artists with disabilities. Megan is honored to perform with them on this special concert. While Covid continues to shake our world, the arts continue to be a source of light and joy, displaying the stubborn resilience and hope of the human spirit.

Late July through early August promises an international adventure as I cross the ocean to perform two operas at the Olomouc Baroque Festival, including Bononcini's Proteo Sul Reno, and a newly completed version of the very first opera in history, Peri's Dafne.  This rendition of Dafne was edited and completed by Vit Zouhar.  More details to come!

Update: Sadly, Covid-19 has wiped out my summer plans to perform in the Czech Republic. I am rallying with new ventures, while holding onto a sliver of hope that my Olomouc performances may be rescheduled next year. Onward and upward!
