“The Kansas Cultural Trust was one of many building blocks for the larger international career I have now. I made several musical contacts who have since been very helpful in developing my career. Most of all, the KCT gave me an international performing experience which I would not have had otherwise.
“The KCT is an invaluable resource for young musicians and artists in the state of Kansas. The opportunities it has given to so many of us are priceless.”
