Performance

I am a soprano, educator, and program designer. My work explores how artists build sustainable careers through performance, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Over a three-decade career across the United States, Europe, and Australia, I have performed with companies including the Santa Fe Opera, Palm Beach Opera, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. I am an Associate Professor of Music at Bucknell University, Director of the Bucknell Voice Lab, and a Fulbright U.S. Scholar.

Opera on the James

A woman in a red dress stands on stage with a serious expression, hands clasped in front of her. Behind her, a digitally projected image of three women with laptops, blurred and in black and white, appears on a dark background.
Woman with shoulder-length blonde hair smiling and standing against a light wall, wearing a blue short-sleeve textured sweater and black pants.
A middle-aged woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and red lipstick, wearing a red lace dress, smiling and standing against a white paneled background.
Four women dressed in elaborate historical costumes, with three women standing close together and one woman leaning over from behind, in a theatrical performance setting.
A woman singing and a woman playing the piano in a church with ornate woodwork, stained glass window, and religious artwork.
A woman with short blonde hair, wearing a sleeveless red and pink floral gown, smiling and standing against a black background.
A woman with brown hair in a black dress, kneeling on stage, appearing emotional or distressed, with dark background.
Performer dressed in an ornate red costume and headdress, performing on stage with arms extended.
A woman dressed in a vintage costume with floral patterns, wearing a hat with a veil, appears to be performing on stage, singing or speaking expressively.
A woman with short curly reddish hair wearing a vintage white dress with green embroidery and puffed sleeves, standing against a dark background.
A woman with shoulder-length gray hair laughing while sitting on a white couch, holding a mug, with a white wall and a lamp in the background.
A woman with blonde hair, wearing a black shirt, smiling and laughing, touching her hair.

I also design programs and workshops for artists and institutions.
