Thrilled to announce I'll be singing in the chorus in Carnegie Hall June 22, 2025

Mozart's Requiem

My first visit to NYC in 30+ years.

I very carefully checked the dates on my tickets for Hamilton before buying them, and ended up with the wrong date anyway! Since no refunds, does anyone want to buy three Row E Center tickets for June 24th?

I just got a Doctorate in Sacred Music. When I was a child I sang for the Vatican Boychor for 14 months til my voice changed. Just got done singing in Hawaii, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, Germany, Portugal and Uruguay have fun that is so coool for you. Who are you singing with? Do you do any singing fr a church community- Mike

A Doctorate took a lot of work.

Ever since I first heard Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers at the age of 12, Renaissance and Baroque choral has been my absolute favorite form.

My home choir is Schola Cantorum of Silicon Valley (CA) https://scholacantorum.org/ with our next concert on May 31st.

However, the Carnegie Hall concert is with VivaLaMusica under the baton of Shulamit Hoffmann.
We have a pre-concert of the Mozart on June 1st in Los Altos, CA if anyone local wants to come and listen.
https://www.vivalamusica.org/

Sadly not many church choirs perform the music that was written for them these days.

I started the year with several performances of Beethoven's ninth, then Carmina Burana, Faure's Requiem, and now some spirituals and the Mozart to round out the year.

The requiem always gives me goosebumps.

Too bad about the Hamilton tickets though.
