Laurie’s Song- Aaron Copland

May 16,2020 was supposed to be my graduation day. Due to COVID-19, I will not get to celebrate my three years of studying for my BS in Music Psychology. This aria was supposed to be performed as one of my last performances on a Huntington University stage, but I never got to perform it. So this is my goodbye, my closure. Thank you to opera for giving me a voice to express the inexpressible.
