ARTISTIC ADVISORY COUNCIL

 

The AOP Artistic Advisory Council is composed of artists and innovators from the world of opera and beyond who contribute their time and wise counsel to advance the mission of The American Opera Project. Council members offer their unique ideas and personal insight to the AOP Staff and Board of Directors, mentor creative teams in the development stage, and serve on panels selecting AOP works and artists. Our Artistic Advisory Council activities are coordinated by Council Director, composer Laura Kaminsky.
