This video from All Together Now captures the joy that Victoria Oruwari experiences simply from the act of singing, which she describes as something she cannot live without.
She is a soprano, recitalist, and concert artist who also teaches adults and children how to sing. She performs at parties, weddings, and commemorative events.
Victoria Oruwari has found a way to make singing her livelihood. She may not be a radio pop star, but she continues to bring joy into people’s lives by doing what she loves.
Making a living through music is challenging for anyone, and simply auditioning for a show like All Together Now is an accomplishment in itself. Oruwari, however, faces the additional challenge of being visually impaired. When she takes the stage, a member of the show’s team assists her.
Blind for several years, Oruwari shares that she has found the strength to envision herself performing in front of an audience wearing a dress. She holds onto this dream and appears in this video wearing a gray dress and jewelry. Her favorite song is “Climb Every Mountain” from the musical “The Sound of Music.”
Like most performers, Oruwari’s choice of song speaks volumes about her character and values. “Climb Every Mountain” is both gentle and powerful, just like Oruwari herself. Its theme of facing and overcoming adversity surely resonates with her.
What does the future hold for Victoria Oruwari? Of course, no one can say for certain, but the hope is that she can further develop her teaching career, spreading the love of singing to more people, and continue to support herself through her exceptional performances. Oruwari is not one to give up, no matter what happens – she’s the type to climb every mountain and look fantastic while doing it.
