Concert giving free-spirited vocalist May Ombara sleepless nights

Classical singer and conductor, May Ombara is comfortable on stage as a member of an ensemble or even conducting an orchestra, but staging her first solo recital has given her sleepless nights.

“It feels safer as a conductor because my back is to the audience but a solo concert is personal and feels vulnerable,” says the 23-year-old ahead of debut recital at Kenton College, this Saturday.
