Be ready -- lessons from the Hollywood Bowl | Sarah Horn | TEDxRiverside

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. “Years of discipline for a moment of freedom,” says Sarah Horn. This voice teacher had her own –coincidental-moment of freedom, on the Hollywood Bowl stage and she was ready. Sarah Horn gained notoriety last summer when she was randomly selected to duet with Kristen Chenoweth at the Hollywood Bowl, thus becoming a YouTube sensation overnight. Little did Ms. Chenoweth know she had randomly selected a voice teacher from the crowd. Sarah is a lifelong music devotee and musical theatre enthusiast who holds a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance from Belmont University and a master’s degree in both vocal performance and conducting from California Baptist University. Sarah has performed with many theater companies and symphonies local to the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City.
