AfriClassical recently received an E-mail from Sergio Mims, the African American host of a classical music program on the Chicago radio station WHPK-FM, regarding the African Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman (b. 1977):
I just read your item about Measha Brueggergosman making her Mozart opera debut and I totally forgot to tell you that I did an interview with her for Ebony's magazine website back in November. She is an incredibly warm, funny and just a terrific person and I hope my interview shows that. Please feel free to post it on your blog if you like. I've also attached a photo of Measha that I took after our meeting:
