and venues fighting to keep the city alive.
“Music is an escape and a shelter. During treatments, music brought beauty in my life, where everything was so ugly and painful. It helped me to disconnect from my reality and to connect with my emotions. Playing gave me the chance to express my darkest feelings, but also by letting myself be carried away by more soothing and joyful pieces.”

Featured Classical Artist
Juliane W. Price
Opera singer, master violinist, and actress.
My night with an opera singer
The first thing I learned about this German native is that much to my surprise, especially considering she chose a brewery as a place to meet up, she prefers wine to beer.
Juliane, who is from Dessau Germany, located in the eastern portion of the country, started playing the piano with her mother who is a music teacher at the age of three. She then began to follow her dreams of being a violinist at the age of 5 with her vocal training beginning at the age of 14.
After a year and a half of training, she was accepted into 3 separate schools. This was a major accomplishment as most schools had roughly four spots to fill with 700 students longing to fill them, and she had her choice of three of the best.
Feeling that this obviously must be her calling she went on to study opera.
Featured metal Artist
anastasia luna
There is one artist I have had my eye on and was fortunate enough to get a chance to interview.
Anastasia Luna. I met her about a year ago when out for drinks in New York. Her personality drew me in and then after some fun conversation, amused by her Russian accent, I was surprised to find out she was a stonecold, recording, and performing metalhead!
I have been following her music since and can’t wait to see what she has coming out of the recording studio next.
