Conductor Sara Jobin Featured in Harvard Zine!

2/18/2015

 
Our own Sara Jobin, masterful conductor of the Purchase of Manhattan, is featured in March-April 2015 issue of Harvard Magazine! Congratulations Sara! Written by Stephanie Garlock with photos by Jane Feldman, the article "Orchestrating Opera's Emotions" describes Sara's early fascination with opera and the stirring power of the voice. The conclusion of the article also mentions our Manhattan performance of the Purchase of Manhattan, an amazing evening that Sara expertly conducted:

One of her favorite moments comes near the beginning, as Peter Minuit, the tenor, arrives on the island singing a waltz, gleeful about the land’s potential value. Below him in the duet, the steady, drum-like Lenape baritone sings about his love for the land’s maternal bounty. As Jobin conducted, she felt the power of opera to help “access emotions that there aren’t necessarily words for. That story is so deep, you can’t even articulate it.” Even without words, opera, and the music of emotion, let you try [Harvard Magazine].
