The Hollywood Bowl has seen no shortage of musical legends this season, from Diana Ross to Willie Nelson. But none has made the viral impact of Sarah Horn, an unknown vocal teacher from Riverside, Calif., who was pulled out of the crowd to perform a duet with Kristin Chenoweth at the first of a recent two-night stint at the legendary amphitheater.

THR: What do you tell people who insist you were too good not to be a plant?

Horn: One phrase: years of preparation for a moment of freedom. That’s something that’s just popped into my mind. I’ve been studying music for years, studying how to sing but also I’m very prepared with the Wicked music because that is my favorite musical of all time. I was obsessed in high school. I would sing the part of Glinda going through “For Good” and then jump back to the beginning of the song and sing Elphaba because I wanted to learn both [parts].

THR: Do you have musical aspirations beyond teaching?

Horn: I would love to perform more. If I could still manage to teach that would be a blessing, but I know I was born to sing and I don’t sing much teaching. I know that I inspire people when I perform as evidenced by the video. Even in smaller settings — when I would sing at church or weddings — I have people come up to me every time and say that something about whatever I did has touched them. And that’s why I do what I do. I don’t do it for the attention. God, I’m an introvert. I flourish in alone time.
