Preparation is the key to success in any artistic journey. If you show great preparation more and more, a great fortune will come to you. — Helen Sohyun Park

The Art Lighthouse Project returns with Teachers' Remarks V, a new season of inspiring conversations. This time, we sit down with faculty from across the School — performers, educators, and above all, mentors who guide with both mastery and heart. As students take the mic, dialogue unfolds between youth and experience, between curiosity and wisdom  — lighting the path for every dreamer on their musical journey.

"This is a wonderful social development for humanity—technology is very helpful to us, because public can access to listen to classical music with this social media and they can come and enjoy our concert as well."

In this episode, we feature Dr. Helen Sohyun Park, Lecturer of Opera & Voice at the School of Music, CUHK-Shenzhen. Dr. Helen Sohyun Park reflects on how, amid the cultural climates of today's mainstream media and rapid technological change, music can nurture and shape students' inner worlds. She also traces her journey from soprano to opera stage director, illuminating the differences in mindset and responsibility between the two roles. Finally, Helen shares how she harnesses imagination to conceive stage designs—and turns creative visions into concrete, workable practice. Tune in for insight, method, and inspiration.
