Bio:
Development Coordinator, Elizabeth Shuman, grew up in a rural town in Western Kansas but has also grown to love Chicago and call it home. She is passionate about equal access to quality music education and connecting communities with opportunities to engage with one another. Also a freelance soprano, Elizabeth has been a Vocal Chamber Music Fellow with Art Song Chicago, and has sung roles with Chicago Fringe Opera, Florentine Opera, and many other local companies.
Favorite Song:
“Morgen” by Richard Strauss. My absolute favorite recording is a YouTube video from 1988 of Arleen Auger and Irwin Gage.
Quote:
“Quality music education is essential because it opens up a profound space for self-expression, letting us communicate what words alone can’t capture. Through the process of learning and making music together, we develop a growth mindset and a stronger sense of ourselves, discovering that meaningful progress comes through dedication, collaboration, and embracing the creative journey.”
