About

I recently finished at the University of Cincinnati (CCM) after pursuing my masters and artist's diploma. I now live in New York after spending my second summer as a vocal fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center. As a vocalist, I enjoy performing in many genres. In June, I performed as a soloist with the Boston POPS in their Simply Sondheim program. You can hear the first performance on Boston's NPR website at http://www.wgbh.org/programs/The-Boston-Symphony-Orchestra-in-Concert-1641?episode=63938. In August I appeared as title role in scenes from Mozart's Idomeneo opposite Dawn Upshaw as Ilia and maestro Ken-David Masur leading the TMC Orchestra. Art song also plays a major part in my musical life. In addition to singing various styles from Schubert and Fauré to contemporary American song, I've played for many singers as a staff accompanist at CCM and beyond. As a pianist, I also play jazz; more recently as a solo lounge player, but I long for people to play with!

Essentially, I moonlight as a pianist for my amazingly talented friends to keep me sane from the crazy life of singing. In that way, I'm able to immerse myself in as many different styles of music as possibly and act as a storyteller in many different ways.

Music

I could offer an assortment of art song recitals. The diversity of art song allows me to say that really, anything goes. I'm eager to present various recitals with different programming. This could include many different composers and styles, depending on the theme of the recital. I've studied and performed the majority of the French, German, British, and American art song canon. Favorite composers I've performed include Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Wolf, Liszt Zemlinsky, Schreker, early Schoenberg, Chausson, Duparc, Fauré, Poulenc, Vaughan Williams, Quilter, Britten, Stephen Foster, Ives, and many contemporary American composers like Cipullo and Heggie. I always like to include crossover composers from the start of the 20th century to today.
