- What I’d like people on this social network to know about me:
- Hi all - I'm very excited to be making my SF Symphony debut singing the role of Iolanthe, at Davies Symphony Hall June 18-21. Most recently, I performed as Kitty Oppenheimer in John Adams' Dr. Atomic at the Met. It's been a wonderful 08-09 concert season, including my European debut in Dr. Atomic at English National Opera, singing Handel’s Messiah with the Baltimore Symphony and with the Oratorio Society of New York, at Carnegie Hall, and Brahms’s “Liebeslieder Walzer,” with both James Levine and Daniel Barenboim. I'm also singing Mahler’s 2nd Symphony with the Colorado Symphony under Jeffrey Kahane, Das Lied von der Erde at the Spoleto Festival, Harbison’s 5th Symphony at the Aspen Music Festival, and Berlioz’s Les nuits d’Été with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Alice Tully Hall.
