The power and grace of a world-class singing voice.
IUPUI assistant chancellor Ken Durgans introduced Angela to the students that packed the Walker Theatre.
Angela brought full operatic style to several numbers.
Some of the kids in the audience were amazed at the emotion and performance skills that are part of her singing.
A captivated audience.
Angela used all her skills to expose youngsters to the joys of opera.
Students had an opportunity to ask questions.
Angela's answers gave her audience a peak "behind the curtain."
Performers from Broad Ripple High School made the most of an opportunity to back up Angela's vocals.
The high schoolers also performed with her in another 40th anniversary concert.
Their combined vocals kept the audience enthralled.
Years of world-class performing haven't dulled Angela's appreciation of the talents of young singers.
