Soprano Rachel Schutz, winner of the 2019 Pro Musicis Int’l Award
“The notion behind Pro Musicis is a simple but daring one. On the one hand, the organization aims to give talented young musicians the boost they need to build major performing careers. On the other hand, Pro Musicis brings live concerts to those least likely to be exposed to classical music.” — The Boston Globe
