POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Friends ~ I am so beyond privileged to be posting some clips of one of my favourite pieces of music I’ve had the opportunity to perform and work on!

If it’s not totally clear - I LOVE new music and contemporary opera. On February 1st 2026, I had the opportunity to sing the role of Woman in Dr. Karim Al-Zand’s world premiere of A Joint Interest at The Brockman Hall for Opera under the direction of Paul Curran and baton of Maestro Harth-Bedoya.

With permission of Dr. Al-Zand, I want to introduce my internet feed to the music I love most of all ~ music that’s uniquely contemporary and allowing for us to depict stories that are so relevant today, reflective of real people, and telling stories that can unite the world through beauty, realism and comedy! Because this opera is SO FUNNY!

It is a gift to work with living composers and composers and musicians who have and are paving the way for us changemakers to make an impact on the world.

With appreciation for my music community, I am so grateful to present some of my favourite clips from A Joint Interest!

Featuring @baritoneburrows as the Burglar @garrettgeno as Police Officer and the MOST INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS from the Rice Shepherd School of Music’s Chamber Orchestra!

I’m so lucky to be a student at Rice University, in grad school, and in the opera program. Nowhere compares to SSM, and I can’t wait for my final year as an MMUS student!

Friends, if I’m missing any tags, please mention yourself in the comments :) @nicholas.gryniewski in the last photo!

Two years attending @shepherd_school and two years making countless memories and achievements. While getting my master's degree was the intended goal, I can't believe how many connections and laughs I was able to find along the way. This degree and chapter has been and will always be one of my life's biggest blessings.

I truly can't thank @robinrice907 @jwinograde @ninosanikidze @bethanyselfcoach @tiahj66 @lyndsisue @alexvmunger & @rachchao enough for the countless hours of support, teaching, coaching, & knowledge they gave to me. Not to mention the continued support!

To my mom, Linden Bat Asherah. Thank you for always being there for me and believing in my capabilities. You are the best mother I could ask for and I am so happy you raised me. I'll always be there for you no matter where this career takes me.

Go Owls!!🦉🦉🦉

Huge shout out to all my amazing colleagues who brought this production to life at such a high level. Thanks to @jwinograde for entrusting me with this role and to @miguelharthbedoya & @matthune for their brilliant insights and vision. I'm so thankful to @ninosanikidze @bethanyselfcoach @lyndsisue & @alexvmunger for their unwavering support throughout the entire process.

My final performance at The Shepherd School of Music! ❤️

Dame Quickly has been a wonderful character to explore and embody. She has taught me a lot in these past couple of months and it has been greatly appreciated!

A big thank you to everyone who made this possible! Without the faculty, coaches, director, and maestro this wouldn't have been nearly as good as it was.
