One Toledoan’s incredible story

The Toledo City Paper depends on readers like you! Become a friend today. See membership options

“I was told more than thirty years ago that I should write about my life story,” said local author Astrig Tutelian, whose debut memoir, My Life’s Journey, is available on Amazon. And what a life story it is. Born in Egypt, Astrig traveled to California at age 19 to study voice. Four years later, she graduated from the University of Toronto, and immediately found herself singing for the Metropolitan Opera. Tutelian moved to Toledo with her husband, and went totally native, singing for the Toledo Symphony Orchestra and teaching at Maumee Valley Country Day School for thirty years. “My life has been so blessed in so many ways, and I wanted someone to  be inspired and encouraged to keep on going, no matter what,” she said. We couldn’t agree more, and neither could her readers—all but two of her Amazon reviews carry 5-star ratings. Pick up your copy before they disappear to put some inspiration into your own life’s journey.
