I'm very excited to be presenting my BM degree recital titled "Der ew'ge Räume: Songs on Joy and Remembrance" this next Saturday, March 25th in Kilbourn Hall! Singing in this hall has always been a great joy for me; it was the hall I sang in when I auditioned for Eastman, the hall where I presented my Links Scholarship recital last year, and where I have shared my fondest memories with EOT, Collegium, and OSSIA. I'm thrilled to be presenting Virgil Thomson's Songs Mostly About Love, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Six Melodies, Op. 65, as well as selections by Ned Rorem, Stefano Donaudy, and Johannes Brahms. I'll be presenting this recital alongside my talented collaborator and friend, Aaron Tan. We're very excited to share this music with you and hope that you all can come!"

Regram from • @friendsofeastmanopera Eastman Opera Theatre Presents: Florencia en el Amazonas March 30, 31 and April 1 at 7:30 pm and April 2 at 2:00 pm at Kodak Hall in Eastman Theatre. Directed by Octavio Cardenas and conducted by Wilson Southerland. The opera will be sung in Spanish with English supertitles. Florencia en el Amazonas concerns what its Mexican-born composer described as “the journey to transcendent love…with all its intricacies, subtleties, wretchedness, and glorious happiness,” with a cast of sympathetic and generally believable characters. Garcia Marquez’s story employs magic realism, a narrative technique that is characterized by the matter-of-fact inclusion of fantastic or mythical elements into seemingly realistic fiction. Catán’s setting of this intriguing story paints the characters in richly varied music of ravishing beauty, particularly for the protagonist, Florencia, a legendary but intensely private opera singer harboring a burning desire to find her long-lost lover Cristóbal. #friendsofeastmanopera #eastmanoperatheatre #eastmanschoolofmusic #opera #operasingersofinstagram #rochesterny #roctownlive #roctownevents #operaguildofrochester #fingerlakesopera #syracuseopera #syracuseny #buffalony @eastman.school @casa.hispana.naz  (at Rochester, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CptidHnOIpO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
