We had the good fortune of connecting with Olga Miliuta and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Olga, why did you pursue a creative career?
I Love to bring happiness for people.

Talk to people through the music

During the long time world’s history the art was most important part of human’s life

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I was born in Belarus my mother is Ukranian my other part of family Polish in German from the beginning i got very strong base of multi culture I was just 3 years old telling my parents that i will be a singer. And I remember that
I graduated music school ( which is 8 years ) and at the age of 16 Moved to another city to enter college and I got my first professional education as a choral director and singer and Piano Player
I was invited to the folk orchestra as a soloist and got position as Accompanist in classic ballet school
However my dream was enter University and become an opera singer
And I graduated university at the age of 26
Now when I’m talking about it it seems like everything happened really fast.
but behind all there are years of hard work discipline routine and practicing

You have to be mentally and physically very strong being able to have rehearsals about 5hours daily with the orchestra or piano being able to sing on different languages with understanding what are you singing about ( in my case 16)
Dancing acting language classes… and it’s in professional industry already

After I moved to America I realized that music sphere is different than european. I started mixing it in my work with my students and we got great results

In May I officially opened my own music business named “BelCanto” music company where children and adults have a great opportunity to learn music in a different ways
Also we provide life opera or classic show
We do piano and voice lessons all styles ( classic opera musical pop rock mariachi jazz bossa nova…)
For me is very important to teach people how to be confident on the stage and in life.

The biggest lesson I learned and I teach my students NEVER stop follow your dream! But to be able to reach your goal never stop working for it

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love my city Corpus Christi It’s beautiful costal bend with Awesome local restaurants and culture
Let say my mother is going to visit us soon.
I will take her to all my favorite places
We will go to the beach first and after stop at the Mexican food truck. They have great tacos.
I love shopping in antique local store “Baba one” they bring beautiful art pieces and furniture from India
We will visit the Art museum of course.
My mom is an artist and i will take her to the art gallery. On Wednesday’s they have the group of artists drawing nature portrait

Then we will visit my beautiful music studio BelCanto and if it will be October she will be able to come for our recital

My favorite coffee place is a local driftwood coffee company. The company roast and ground coffee right in a caffè.

As soon as it is one week vacation we will go and visit Chopin Society of Corpus Christi.
I highly recommend visit their piano concerts and listen great world known piano players. i collaborate with Society a lot we do opera blocks in our recitals

On the weekends as well we will go to see Harbor play house music show ( i am a music director there and highly recommend to visit our community Theater)

And at the end of the day we will go to Bellino restaurant to enjoy italian food and Italian music

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My mother Ninella of course my number one teacher and helper. She is a piano player and an artist. All my music professors from the university.
I used to travel a lot all over Europe and Asia met different musicians who of course impressed me
Got master classes from famous opera singers and teachers
Of course their success and their way showed me that i can follow my dream too…
