NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Hello music lovers!
After a few life-changing events earlier this year, I’m getting back into the swing of performance and opera. Following a wonderful experience singing in West Bay Opera’s fabulous production of Der Fliegende Holländer earlier this spring, I’ll be capping this year singing Resphigi’s beautiful Lauda per la Natività, in addition to many holiday performances with my beloved Merrie Olde Christmas Carolers.
