                        Tuesday, April 26, 2022

  Ms. KUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Louis Burkot as 
he celebrates 40 years as the founding artistic director of Opera North 
in Lebanon, NH.
  Among his accomplishments, Louis has conducted the Dartmouth College 
Glee Club and more than 700 Opera North Resident Artists from around 
the world. His expertise in vocal and choral music has contributed 
significantly to the Upper Valley community and beyond. Louis' 
knowledge of vocal and operatic music has been invaluable for many 
young singers, many of whom have gone on to major careers around the 
world.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, I thank Louis for his many years of service, and for being a 
part of what makes the Granite State so great. I am honored to 
recognize and congratulate Louis on 40 years of incredible work, and I 
wish him many more.
