Areas of
Interest: I am particularly fond of
singing chamber music and music composed in the twentieth
century. I have sung with the Vancouver Chamber Choir and
Orchestra in a performance of Bach's Easter Oratorio and
with orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout Arizona,
California, Utah and Wisconsin. I frequently performed
Bach and Mozart arias with the Eau Claire Chamber
Orchestra in Wisconsin and I sang extensively with the
New Music Ensemble performing such works as George
Crumb's Night of the Four Moons in Tempe, Arizona. I have
performed numerous recitals and I have sung leading roles
in several operas, namely Susanna in The Marriage of
Figaro, Blanche in Dialogues of the Carmelites, and Susan
B. Anthony in The Mother of Us All. I also enjoy
researching and teaching vocal pedagogy and vocal
literature.
Hobbies,
travels, etc.: My hobbies include reading
(fiction and historical), roller-blading, e-mailing
friends, shopping of any kind, and attending theatrical
performances.
