More details TBD. I am thrilled for the chance to experience Bachfest in 2024, and to perform with Bach Collegium San Diego friends. I’ve never been to Leipzig during this sacred annual tradition, and I hope this is the first of many visits.
TENET Vocal Artists will perform in several cities in Germany in celebration of our 15th anniversary season and in honor of the conclusion of our survey of J.S. Bach’s major oratorios over the past decade. TENET will perform “Mit Glanz und Gloria,” a program of repertoire by Claudio Monteverdi, Heinrich Schütz, and their contemporaries. More details soon.
TENET’s performance will feature one-per-part singers and soloists, led from the keyboard by Jeff Grossman as the finale to our 15th anniversary season in June 2024.

This is the 56th season of Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity, a unique and treasured cultural institution in New York City. And this is my fifteenth season singing the glorious music of J.S.

Join us on Sundays for 5pm Vespers services by candlelight, that offer historically-informed and world class performances of this repertoire within a liturgical context.

This is something I am excited about. We will perform a vocal quartet version of David Lang’s exquisite the little match girl passion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art over two nights. This is presented as part of MetLiveArts, and is in conjunction with a special album release on Cantaloupe Records during the Fall. I’ll be sharing more details about the album. This has been a special project near to my heart, with cherished colleagues: Molly Netter, Dashon Burton, and Gene Stenger.
Clarion Music Society’s annual tradition of ringing in the New Year with a program of Russian choral music on NYE and New Year’s Day in NYC. Details about program TBD.

I am excited to join beloved colleagues as a featured soloist as part of this all-female program for treble voices in collaboration with Trinity Wall Street and the treble vocalists of Downtown Voices, under guest director Elena Williamson. This program celebrates music from 17th-century Italian convents in what may seem an unlikely place for a wellspring of music and creativity. The extraordinary nuns produced a wealth of musical fruit, and TENET will feature works by famed composer Chiara Maria Cozzolani, Sulpitia Cesis, Vittoria Aleotti, and Catarina Assandra.

One of the most uplifting moments of my artistic life in New York City was singing with the Metropolitan Opera chorus in a performance of Verdi’s Requiem on September 11, 2021, twenty years after 9/11, and the first occasion a live audience was back in the Met after Covid-19’s disruption.
I’m thrilled to join this magnificent chorus and orchestra again in three performances of Verdi’s masterpiece from September 27-30, 2023. Concert and ticket info can be found directly on the Met’s website.
