TA Ana Moiseeva just recently got her doctorate degree in Music Performance/Opera Coaching at the Butler School of Music. Works as a TA at the Butler Opera Center and Butler School of Music. She came to the USA in August 2019 from Georgia to pursue her dream of becoming an opera coach. Before coming to the US, she was an accomplished piano accompanist in Georgia and Europe. The choirs which she used to accompany were awarded with titles of “best choirs” all over Europe. Ana herself was recognized as the best choir accompanist of Georgia. She fell in love with opera as a child, when upon hearing Mozart’s Don Giovanni she was pulled towards the magical world of music. Don Giovanni, by a turn of fate, was the first opera she worked on at Butler Opera Center as an opera coach, 25 years after seeing it for the first time.
We are so glad to have you on board, Ana! 🌷
