  • 2020 Donor Edition Bridge
    FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Alumni and Friends, The cover says it all! Not really. Don’t get me wrong. COVID-19 has deeply impacted Finlandia. The real story, however, is something other. It is about Finlandia’s students, faculty, and staff, day after day, absorbing, pivoting, and innovating through a season of extraordinary disruption and loss. In the stories that follow, you will experience a good dose of Finlandia fortitude. Our stellar TRIO Student Support Services program has earned another five years of funding. Our gold-star accredited health sciences programs are on pace to be delivered from newly renovated spaces starting in January. So too, the venue for Finlandia’s new Center for Vocation and Career. Finlandia’s Esports program has launched and plans are in place for a new student center as early as spring semester. And, thanks to your generosity, we raised $3,800,000 toward our 3- year, $10,000,000 mark for Rise Together. Finlandia continues to advance commitments such as these and others that point forward, beyond our present circumstances, beyond the daily challenges and relentless demands, beyond COVID-19. So, the cover doesn’t say it all. Yet, admittedly, it does speak to a shared reality we dare not dismiss. Every reader, each one of us, has and continues to experience personal and difficult loss of one kind or another. There are among our readers those whose work or age or health place them at higher risk. There are among our readers those that have lost a loved one, a friend, or a neighbor to COVID-19.

    Press Release November 26, 2019 Washington National Opera expands American opera repertory during American Opera Initiative Festival January 10, 2020 Kennedy Center Terrace Theater Featuring the World Premiere of Three one-act operas: Woman of Letters by Sokunthary Svay and Liliya Ugay Admissions by Kim Davies and Michael Lanci Night Trip by Sandra Seaton and Carlos Simon (WASHINGTON)—With three original stories—one set in the cramped Bronx apartment of a first-generation immigrant, one following a Beverly Hills family in hot water, and one tracking an eye-opening road trip from a 1958 Chicago neighborhood to Tennessee—Washington National Opera (WNO) presents the eighth season of its acclaimed American Opera Initiative (AOI) with three world premieres January 10, 2020, in the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater. The three one-act operas featured this season illuminate the complex narratives that permeate the fabric of American life and culture. The three composer-librettist teams—Michael Lanci and Kim Davies, Carlos Simon and Sandra Seaton, and Liliya Ugay and Sokunthary Svay— collaborated with distinguished mentors who have each enjoyed professional success in the field: composer Laura Kaminsky, librettist Kelley Rourke, and conductor Anne Manson. Amanda Consol directs these three semi-staged concert performances, with Anne Manson conducting a chamber orchestra of WNO Orchestra members. “America is renowned for its appetite and support of contemporary opera. The American Opera Initiative has now supported the work of some 50 young American composers and librettists in that area. This program helps them develop their craft, gain invaluable experience, and receive ~ more ~ guidance from some of the leading American creative artists,” says Robert Ainsley, AOI program director.

Throughout this entire time of the world’s pandemic horrors, our response to this disaster has been nothing short of miraculous! Creativity has flourished, and we’ve all experienced an explosion of serendipitous silver linings. I am proud of what our Junior Opera Ensemble has achieved this year. These 27 singers have shown enthusiasm, curiosity, and grit. Please enjoy these French opera scenes and savor the brilliance and ever-growing artistry of tonight’s cast. It is all about the mystery and magic of love, isn’t it? Without LOVE none of this could have happened. It has been an honor to lead the way through these uncharted waters. My thanks to Manhattan School of Music, my production team, and all these future stars, for sharing this blessed journey! —Catherine Malfitano A NOTE ON THE PROGRAM Junior Opera Theatre’s “Le Mystère et la Magie de l’Amour: An Evening of French Opera Scenes” also pays tribute to the Juneteenth holiday this June 19, celebrating the emancipation of American slaves, with a very special offering.
