Text by Justus Jonas, 1524, paraphrase of Psalm 124:

and He does not conclude our affairs high above there in heaven,
where He is not the guardian of Israel and thwarts Himself the deceit
of the enemy, then all is lost for us.

"HOPE REFRACTED" IS OUT!

Presenting a full-length, edited rolling-score video of new music composed (and performed) by my brilliant colleagues James Jeffery and Dominic Fiacco, a small army of singers, and myself. Truly, what a pleasure it was to work with such brilliant musicians on new original music. We all hope you enjoy this recording as much as we enjoyed putting on this performance. Stay tuned for more concerts like this in the near future!

So much fun staging this concert at @artisanworksny with my friends a couple weeks ago. Thanks so much for everyone who turned out to “A Taste of Something New!” And a huge round of applause to @zihuama_, who performed my solo violin piece “Daring Painter, Painting on the Wind” so beautifully. (Thanks @yeseniaajos for the pics!!!)

One of the greatest joys of this year's festival was launching our Young Artist Choral Fellowship. It was a privilege to introduce these four remarkable musicians at our Kickoff Party and then watch them embrace every opportunity the week had to offer. They made meaningful connections with our guest artists, gained experience in the fast-paced rhythm of a professional music festival, formed lasting friendships, and experienced the beauty and warmth of Maine and our incredible community. Investing in the next generation of musicians is one of the most meaningful things we can do, and we're excited to see this program continue to flourish.

Blue Hill Bach Young Artist Summer Fellowship 2026 ✅

My heart hurts to know that my time in beautiful Blue Hill is coming to a close. I have had the most terrific time exploring my growing passion for baroque music with these phenomenal artists. You have made my summer so very special by being a part of it.

I can’t thank you enough @rosievanreesema for this wonderful opportunity to grow and develop my craft in such a meaningful way. And to @genestenger_tenor for your commitment to mentorship. And my dear Colleen for opening your home and your heart to me. I love you all. ❤️

My super late senior year dump 💙💛

From my degree recital and first operatic role (Yniold!) to being a finalist in the Friends of Eastman Opera Competition, this year has been filled with so much growth and joy.

My time at Eastman has taught me so much about myself. I met the most amazing people and made the fondest memories of which I will carry for the rest of my life.

I look forward to completing my dual-degree in the fall, and embracing my next adventure :)
