Our friend Brenda Bauer brought this exciting original opera, “Juniper Tree,” to our attention and we would love to share the details with you all as well! As an additional bonus the opera was written and produced by 10,000 Minds Undergraduate Advisory Board Member Joshua Nathaniel Reid Ollswang.
The recruitment and formation of an APsaA Undergraduate Advisory Board (UAB) comprised of undergraduate students came out of an IPA grant aimed to study the most effective ways in which to reach the 10,000 Best Minds of the next generation.
“Juniper Tree” will be performed at Jan Hus Theatre, 351 E. 74th Street, New York, New York on December 12, 14 and 15, at 8pm. Donations will be accepted at the door.
