Do you want to tap into our creativity in the business world? Our next guest will tell you how. Gina Perregrino is an American opera singer, teaching artist, and writer. Her experiences in the high-pressure world of operatic training and performance have led to advocate for more transparency around the emotional, financial, and geographical realities of being a full-time opera singer, as one can read about in her work published in Huffington Post. She is the creator FORTE, a series of musical-based workshops, using music as the catalyst for social, emotional and somatic awareness, available to conservatories and young artist programs across the country. A daughter and granddaughter in a family of quiet artists, Perregrino is determined to make some noise.
