Diva arrives

Lincoln County native Leah Partridge performed with the Augusta Symphony on Saturday, January 12, at First Baptist Church in Augusta. Although the program was titled "Diva on the Rise," there was no doubt in anybody's mind that it should have been called "The Diva has Already Arrived." Following the concert, Partridge, who will make her debut with the Metropolitan Opera this spring, hosted a reception for all of the Lincoln County folks in attendance. Pictured with the young opera star are: (l-r) Phil Campbell, Anna Dawkins, and Faith Campbell.
