Part 2 of 2: What defines the classical musician today? How does a conservatory graduate hone his or her artistic identity and find an career in the process? Hugh Sung (http://www.HughSung.com )explores some of those questions with soprano Jacquelyn Familant (http://http://www.jacquelynfamilant.com ), a Curtis alumn who is currently enjoying an international career. The winner of several prestigious competitions, Ms. Familant has received worldwide acclaim for repertoire ranging from lyric opera to contemporary works. Not resting on her laurels, Ms. Familant also lends her expertise in publicity and marketing to other up-and-coming musicians (as well as to some well-established artists, such as composer Christopher Rouse).
