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.

Solo

Enno Poppe’s “Wespe”
Kaija Saariaho’s “Changing Light”

Small Ensemble

Kaija Saariaho’s “From the Grammar of Dreams”
