Hi Friends,
I hope you have been having a great holiday season (between the Winter Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa) full of warmth, light, and opportunities of restoration and rejuvenation.
I have been busy gearing up for a few upcoming performances! Over the past couple of days I have been performing with the New Jersey Festival Orchestra on their Salute to Vienna tour, spending yesterday (12/29) performing at the Music Center of Strathmore, in North Bethesda, Maryland, with performances in New Brunswick, NJ (at the State Theatre New Jersey) on the 31st, and on New Year’s Day at David Geffen Hall in Lincoln Center. I believe these concerts are nearly sold out, but it’s worth checking to see! https://www.salutetovienna.com/concerts/new-york
There are two performance projects coming up in the next few weeks that I am really excited about! I am truly excited to serve as a guest artist, performing with the chamber ensemble Canta Libre, at their performance at a free concert on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at 2:30pm at the Harborfields Public Library (31 Broadway, Greenlawn, NY 11740). We are performing Nino Rota’s Quintet, Vincent D’Indy’s Suite Op. 91, and Florent Schmitt’s Suite en Rocaille. To find out more about Canta Libre’s mission, please go here!
The second string of performances coming up in January that I am really excited about are with the New York Dramatic Voices, as we perform Act III of Wagner’s Die Walküre. There are two performances, with two different casts- the first is taking place on Friday, January 17th, at 7pm at the Frank Shiner theatre. The second will take place on Saturday, January 18th, at 8pm. For details, please go to https://www.sheencenter.org/events/detail/nydv-wagners-die-walkuere-act-iii!
I look forward to seeing you all in the New Year! Much love and light to all!
