Opera Sephro

News-I am very very proud to be working with an Opera production " Sephro" for the Fringe festival this summer :) I will write more about it later!

Recently we were at the recital of Eglise Gutierrez, who is a AVA grad and a wonderful soprano! Her home town is Cuba, so she brought some Cha-cha-chá into her recital this time. It was both beautiful and playful. The audiences were totally captivated by her bright resonating voice and smoothing transitioning of vocal range. I just wish the weather wasn't so dry!

Here's a clip of her singing Caro Nome

Feburary recital updated!

My last recital at Cadia Rehabilitation, (Delaware) was one of the best recitals ever :) Thank you (thank you Rachael) so much for having us and giving us the wonderful afternoon to be part of a very warming and welcoming community where residents sung along throughout the recital :)
My next recital will be 02/27/2010, location is to be determined between Waverly heights, PA and Beaumont retirement,PA depending on the pianist's and the facility's availability.

Audition for ducks

Q: What would you pick as the perfect audition aria if you were a duck?

A: Vedrai Carino (Me think :P More suggestions?)

OCT, NOV RECITAL(Arias only) IN DE

Walk-ins are welcomed in Emily P. Bissell hospital, but please, let me know if you are thinking of attending the concert, maybe you can tag along with us :)

"FAMILY GUY"!

Ok...This is really funny! I think "Family Guy" is hilarious, well, most of the time. (Sometimes they are just flat out inappropriate.) Let's hope Meg is NOT talking out a tape on "Echo's recital";p

Tonight's recital

My recital went awesomely today :) The residents enjoyed the songs and were all so encouraging! Thanks to my lovely assistant, couldn't have done it without you! Although I was nervous at first, it took just a few minutes to find the support I needed.

Few things I have learned from the recital:
1. Always check your sheet music book in case there is a missing page.
2. Remember to press the "record" button if you brought your recorder.
3. A good pianist is vital.
4. Take some time and put yourself in the role before starting each aria.

My second recital is coming up soon, I will try to remember to record the singing next time :p
