Opera Memphis's season continues with Bizet's masterpiece "Carmen," performed on Friday, January 24, and Saturday, January 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center at the University of Memphis.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
