I had the privilege of performing for this fundraiser to help raise money for Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative, which provides me (and my sister) with scholarship, mentorship, and tons of opportunities! This event honored the composer Jessie Montgomery, and I performed her Rhapsody #1. See Opening Doors for more information on this event and CMPI.
