Have you ever wondered what it takes to create a new opera? Season 5 of Key Change, from the Santa Fe Opera Department of Community Engagement, is coming soon and we’d LOVE for you to help us celebrate its 5th anniversary. We just learned that Key Change is a FINALIST in the Signal Awards for the podcasting industry! We are up for 2 different awards: Best Music Show for the 4th season; and Best Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Episode for “Telling Hard Truths”, an episode following the commission, creation, and world premiere of This Little Light of Mine by Chandler Carter and Diana Solomon-Glover. A panel of esteemed industry leaders will be judging the Signal Awards and YOU can help us win Listener’s Choice in both categories by voting for Key Change on their website. We’ve linked both of the voting pages in the show notes in the episode description in your app. To vote for best Music show go to bit.ly/podcastawardmusic. To vote for best DEI episode go to bit.ly/podcastawarddei. Voting ends October 5th, 2023. So please cast your vote as soon as you can! And yes, you do need to create a sign-in on their site, as they are VERY serious about keeping it fair and preventing people from spamming the ballot box. We are honored to be recognized for the quality, the heart, and the impact of Key Change and Opera For All Voices. It would be the icing on the show's 5th anniversary cake to officially win a Signal Award! Thank you, as always, for your support!
