Just kidding... it's part of why all singers are really Masochists. I have a few auditions coming up, so I will announce any upcoming Spring roles to you here!

This Fall, I will be singing in the chorus for Nabucco with the Claude Healer Foundation. This presentation of a story about the ancient Jewish people will be presented in the beautiful Congregation Sherith Israel Synagogue in San Francisco. We are even performing the chorus of the Hebrew slaves in Hebrew!

This year marks the 4th annual "end-of-summer" concert at Coastside Lutheran, and I'm hoping to make this event the best one yet!! We have a repertoire of quirky love songs, including Renaissance Madrigals, showtunes, and glee club favorites! 

I am raising funds for the concert operation costs, and to add to the benefits for Abundant Grace and Coastside Lutheran's Community Breakfast program. I hope you will consider donating to this project that is near and dear to my heart.
