- Performing Arts
I am honored and excited to have my friend Maren Weinberger Maddry on the podcast! Maren’s artistic journey led her to be a professional opera singer. In our conversation we walk through her journey of deciding to pursue opera and both the highs and lows she’s experienced throughout her professional career. We also chat about the mental, emotional, and physical strength it takes to be a professional opera singer.
Maren shares about highlights such as performing with The Glimmerglass Opera Festival, her time with the Fort Worth Opera, and participating in various competitions including the international Lotte Lenya Competition where she won Second Prize in 2013.
We talk about the vulnerability it takes to be a performer and the importance of taking time to reflect on our “why.” Towards the end of our conversation, you will get to hear about Maren’s new business The Mill and Refill, which is a small batch, freshly milled flour company. She combines her love of food and cooking with her love of building community and bringing people together. May you be encouraged as you listen to Maren share about her journey!
