My fondest memories as a mezzo-soprano are of the performances with other vocalists and instrumentalists. I was a chamber music fellow for two summers at the famed Aspen Music festival and school, where I was fortunate enough to work with Jan DeGaetani, Leslie Guinn and Adele Addison. My compositions in this genre include works for tenor, oboe and piano, soprano, clarinet and piano, voice and guitar, and voice and trombone. Lullaby for the Earth is for two tenors, baritone and bass and piano.
