Singing

I've worked as a singer and percussionist in an enormous range of musical styles and historical periods --  medieval polyphony, Baroque oratorio, Romantic art song, American popular song, folk music from around the world, jazz, blues, American roots music, and original pop music.

In addition to numerous collaborations in and around New England, I was co-founder of the international early music trio ZORGINA Vocal Ensemble and have performed and recorded with groups that include The Boston Camerata (USA), Ensemble Oni Wytars (Germany), Ensemble Unicorn (Austria), The Terra Nova Consort (USA), and Hesperus (USA).

I love giving voice to whatever sounds want to move through me and, in my teaching, helping others find the true essence of their own voice.
