## Resource

In this episode of Along the Rock , host Emma Watts sits down with Remington Collins, a classical voice student currently studying at the Eastman School of Music. Collins shares her journey from local theater productions in Rock Falls to intensive opera training in New York, and how she found her passion for classical music after feeling stuck creatively in high school. She also talks about the discipline behind opera, the importance of storytelling through music, and why she’s bringing that experience back home to the Sauk Valley. Collins previews her upcoming recital in Sterling, where she’ll be joined by a talented organist for a unique performance featuring both piano and organ accompaniment. Whether you’re a lifelong music lover or completely new to opera, this conversation offers insight into an art form that’s powerful, emotional, and more accessible than many people think. 📍 Recital Details: 🗓 Saturday, May 9 🕑 2:00 PM 📍 First Congregational Church (Big Red Church), Sterling, IL 🎟 Free and open to the public 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, comment and subscribe for more local stories from the Sauk Valley and beyond. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast and explore more at https://theradar.online 🎤 Highlights: Follow us on all social media platforms below: https://www.facebook.com/radarfreepress https://www.youtube.com/@radarfreepress https://open.spotify.com/show/0dOeaVg1JI0ump4iD0rIHk https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/along-the-rock/id1773156790 https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-along-the-rock-245007958/ https://rumble.com/radarfreepress https://www.tiktok.com/@radarfreepress https://x.com/radarfreepress https://www.instagram.com/radarfreepress/ https://www.threads.net/@radarfreepress #podcast #saukvalley #radarfreepress #alongtherock #rockfallsil #sterlingil #dix…
