Opera Western Reserve Board member and Dana School of Music student Sierra McCorvey, a Howland High School graduate, performs in “Suor (Sister) Angelica.”
A little encouragement was all it took to set Howland High School graduate Sierra McCorvey on her journey of a lifetime.
From a high school band member, she rose to become a top local opera talent.
McCorvey graduated from Howland in 2009. She recalls her high school music teachers who helped her begin her musical journey.
“My music teachers were Anjanette DePoy, Nancy Moore, Craig Raymaley and Greg Rezabek,” McCorvey said. “It was their team effort that got me into music school with a scholarship.”
