About this Artist
MILENA MANOCCHIA (Alexandra at 13) is thrilled to play “Young Alexandra” in this incredible production of ATLAS! A 13-year-old New Yorker with a passion for music, Milena has performed with the Young People’s Chorus of New York at Carnegie Hall, the New York Philharmonic, the Macy’s Parade, and elsewhere. At the Lincoln Center White Lights Festival, she performed as “Young Eva” in Cave Song with Meredith Monk, and she later joined Monk in Cellular Songs at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She also performed Benjamin Britten’s Balulalow solo at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Milena lovingly thanks her incredible family and friends, Francisco and Elizabeth Nunez & YPC, Sarah Batts, and Vielka Weiss. Special thanks to Yuval Sharon, the entire ATLAS team, and to Meredith Monk for inspiring Milena to make her “spirit soar.”
