Contemporary Music

I began performing contemporary music while at Oberlin Conservatory. While there (2009-13), I premiered many new works by both student and faculty composers, including starring in several new operas.

​However, my work in Buffalo over the past 5 years has primarily focused on a capella performances with my small ensemble Sotto Voce  Vocal Collective. I have also recently begun recording  rock music, the idiom in which I first began singing and now occasionally perform for fun. Below are samples of this recent work.

Opera

Jessie Downs's "The Second Sight "

Solo
