Source Moment: I had never been a participant in a festival quite like Source before, so it's hard to pick just one memory! However, what really made the experience even more amazing was meeting and collaborating with my partner, mezzo Christina Christensen! Mark paired us together and we clicked right away. We still make music together in 2020 and we may have never met without Source!
