She brings that boundless energy and collaborative spirit to her new Santa Fe Opera role, fueled by a deep passion for opera and music education.&amp;nbsp; Co-hosts Andrea Fellows Fineberg and Anna Garcia roll out a virtual red carpet welcome for Amy Owens, Director of the  Young Voices of the Santa Fe Opera Program. Get to know this exuberant, optimistic talent and learn more about the program under her stewardship. Andrea, Anna, and Amy also explore the profound community impact of two beloved SFO programs: Opera Makes Sense, a storytelling \u201cplaydate\u201d with operatic roots for children ages 3 to 5, and  Opera Storytellers Summer Camp, an engaging week-long summer jamboree for 3rd through 6th graders that culminates in the performance of an original 10-minute opera. But back to the aforementioned Sweet Potato. What does a tuber have to do with Amy\u2019s plans for the next iteration of Young Voices? \u201cBeing a part of&amp;nbsp;Sweet Potato Kicks The Sun (the very first commission of Opera For All Voices) reinforced for me the possibilities of our art form,\u201d she says, reflecting on the role she originated. Sweet Potato\u2019s complex, modern score reinforced for Amy the limitless possibilities embedded in opera\u2019s creative process. She wants to expand on those opportunities by diversifying the art form\u2019s artistic and audience outlook, thus ensuring opera\u2019s future. \u201cWe can prioritize this kind of work with the values of inclusivity, integrity, and storytelling. [That] gives me much hope that I still carry with me.\u201d MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  Young Voices of the Santa Fe Opera Program Opera Makes Sense  Opera Storytellers Sumer Camp Opera For All Voices New Mexico Philharmonic The Sullivan Foundation RELATED EPISODES  Interpreting Ambiguity Sweet Potato Kicks The Sun  A Closer Look At Our First Commision Sweet Potato Kicks The Sun *** Key Change is a production of The Santa Fe Opera in collaboration with Opera for All Voices.
