  Music
Although I enjoy music of many types, and I studied piano for more than a decade, my current passion is choral music. I've been singing in choruses large and small, challenging and laid back, in university settings or in my community, for more than a decade. Along the way, I've sung music from many centuries including several world premieres.

In the summer of 2000, I toured central Europe with the Master Chorale of Washington. We sang in Prague's Rudolfinum and Budapest's Liszt Academy. In 2005, we went to Poland and Germany and performed Donald McCullough's Holocaust Cantata in Krakow, Dresden, and Berlin as well as at Auschwitz.

I study voice with Angela Powell. A list of choruses I've sung with, including their music directors, is below. At the bottom are links to reviews of recent performances.
