Wow! The Holidays are approaching again! Every year I feel like the Christmas Concert season hits me like a ton of bricks! Yes - I will probably sing with wandering Christmas Carolers a few times, but for the more specific concerts, make sure to mark your calendars for the following:

December 8th - 7pm Coastside Community Sing, Half Moon Bay United Methodist Church. I will be conducting my church ensemble (and friends) in two festive holiday pieces! 

December 15th - 10am Worship Sermon: Reader's Theater "A Christmas Carol"
I'm directing this shortened version of a Christmas Classic with an inter-generational cast at Coastside Lutheran Church.

December 20th - 12:30pm Stanford Hospital's annual "mini-Messiah" as the soprano soloist. Performing with David Lewis and friends.

December 21st - 4pm Lessons and Carols with San Francisco Renaissance Voices at San Francisco Episcopal Church of the Incarnation. 
I will be singing as a soprano in the chorus, as well assistant directing. I will also be conducting select pieces in this traditional Holiday prayer service. 

***It's the Most wonderful tiiiiiiime of the year***

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.
