Cathedral Park Jazz Festival

Last weekend, Abby and I got to go one of Portland’s most beautiful places, Cathedral Park, to hear some great performances at the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival. We particularly enjoyed a set by Karrin Allyson, where she shared the stage with a couple other amazing singers, including Nancy King. It was a great night. (We were particularly happy when we thought about all the times we had gone to outdoor performances in Houston and sweat our butts off! It was nice to be in really beautiful weather in July!)

Relax

Some words I am considering this morning, via Jim:

“There is nothing to prove and nothing to protect. I am who I am, and that’s enough. Relax into Me, for I made you.” - Richard Rohr

Oregon Bach Festival 2010

I’m back in Eugene for the 2010 Oregon Bach Festival. First concert up is the powerful Verdi Requiem. We’ll perform it in Eugene on Friday and then Portland on Sunday.

In the next 3 weeks, we’ll also be doing performances of Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Bach’s B Minor Mass, the Brahms Liebeslieder, and also other concerts with pieces by Brahms, Beethoven, and Bach.

This is such a great chorus to sing with, and being in Eugene this time of year is really nice.

If you are in the area and want to know more about the concerts, you can see all the info on the OBF website. If you want to know specifically what concerts I will be singing in, you can see that on my performances page.

You can also see some highlights of rehearsals and events so far. This stuff just happened yesterday and it’s already on YouTube!

Hope Stone Dance performance video

A video was posted online of my performances with Hope Stone Dance from last year. It was such an honor to perform with this totally engaging and unique company of artists. In this video, I am singing in the pit with Ana Trevino-Godfrey. We are, essentially, providing support to the incomparable violinist Noel Martin who is playing a beautiful and wickedly difficult Bach violin piece. And of course, the dancers! Totally fascinating - I can’t stop watching them!
