Musical Guest:
Victoria Noll
Before Mobile, Alabama native Victoria Noll was born, she experienced a rare developmental connection - internal unity with an internationally acclaimed Metropolitan Opera soprano at the peak of her 30+ year career. This bond and the resulting musical immersion produced a child who soon became completely captivated by sound.
