She will be accompanied by Ms. Angel Yang, a Piano Performance graduate student at Emporia State University.

A native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Ms. Felix studied at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, the Mannes College of Music and Texas A&M University. In addition to her opera stage appearances in New York and her composition of works for voice and various instruments, Ms. Felix is a New York Times bestselling author with 15 books to her credit. Her most recent title is Condi: The Condolezza Rice Story. Her books have brought her a wide range of speaking engagements and international media appearances.
