We are thrilled to announce our FIRST collaboration for the Project 2020 Recital Series with Chase Young Gallery in Boston.  A woman-owned gallery led by Director, Kate Kostopoulos, the gallery exhibits a wide variety of outstanding contemporary artists with a specific focus on innovative painting mediums.  Project 2020 will be presented in conjunction with an exhibition of paintings by New York based abstract expressionist painter, Francine Tint.  Tint’s work has been exhibited in over thirty solo shows in the United States and Europe, and is in the permanent collections of numerous museums and private collections around the world.  See her featured painting above, Layers of Time. To learn more about the gallery's collections visit Chase Young Gallery and view this video about Kate Kostopoulos and the gallery's aesthetic.

Future Commission of New Works:
On mission with the purpose of
Project 2020 to shine a light on the artistic, social and human contributions of women to society-at-large, Chase Young Gallery has generously pledged 5% of proceeds from all sales of artwork of this exhibition in conjunction with the recital performance. Proceeds will assist in future commission of new works by 21st Century women composers for Program Two of Project 2020!


If you are interested in making an investment in world-class artwork, please consider attending and contacting the gallery in advance! 

Stay Tuned for Composer Updates, Ticket Sales and Interviews with the Artists over the coming months.

The Shakespeare Concerts CD Release!
I'm very excited to share a short excerpt and info for purchase of my FIRST commercial recording.  This was an outstanding project of contemporary and romantic vocal chamber music produced by composer, Joseph Summer and The Shakespeare Concerts with Music Direction by conductor, Tim Ribchester.  My second time working with The Shakespeare Concerts, for this project I performed and recorded Schumann's rarely heard Drei Gesänge, Opus 93  for Soprano and Harp and also am heard on Summer's Sonnets V & VI, Brahms' Vier Gesänge and Boston based composer Benjamin Pesetsky's Answer and Question.  Enjoy an excerpt of Ben's piece with my colleagues Jessica Lennick, Thea Lobo, Franziska Huhn, Josh Michal and Kevin Owen!

#Throwback - Excerpts from Händel's Neun Deutsche Arien
I hope you enjoy these little rehearsal excerpts from the "vault" during preparations last Spring before my March Jordan Hall recital. I'm hoping we'll be able to reunite as a team to perform these soon. I loved working with Allyson Gray Michal and Timothy Steele on these!
"Forget what the world thinks of you, stepping out of your place.  
Think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscious for approval"
- Susan B. Anthony

I was very happy to lend my voice, not as a singer, but as an actor and narrator in performance with Voices Rising for Joan Szymko's "Lifting As We Climb" - "Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Ratification of the 19th Amendment and A Call to Protect the Emblem of Equality: THE VOTE"  This extended chamber work for women's voices, chamber ensemble, speakers and narrators was extremely powerful and was commissioned by GALA (the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) for the Dr. Catherine Roma women composer project.  Learn more about the full program here
Did you know that I've been working as an actor in film and commercials?
Check out a clip of my scene in Colin Langford's Outbound!  
Stay tuned for other film and commercial updates.
I'll be shooting a new leading role at the end of this month and look forward to sharing.
