In this episode, we interview our close friend and fellow Cykler Scholar Désiree Brissac Pereira ahead of her upcoming recitals! For her Cykler project, Desi has put together a program of songs by Brazilian composers (including herself), which she will be performing with soprano Sheila Minatti on Saturday, May 26th at 6pm in Beall Hall. We also talk the love of piano, composing, and strategies for navigating burnout, as well as dogs 🐶, cake 🍰, and our star signs 💫. Enjoy (or don't! 💅)!
