Sogno di Volare




In January and February of this year I had the privilege of working with composer Christopher Tin on his epic piece of music, Sogno di Volare (translation "Dream of Flight"), with over a thousand singers worldwide in The Stay at Home Choir.

On Friday April 30th, our recorded performance of Sogno di Volare premiered in audio form on BBC Three and La Scalia Radio stations and our video performance premiered this past Sunday, May 2nd. I'm enormously proud of being a part of this epic production that is glorious in both sound and visuals! 


In other music news, I have just finished recording a new video project with The Stay at Home Choir and Gareth Malone, and will be working on an audio album with the choir over the summer which will feature classical works. I'll also soon be recording a hymn with The Self Isolation Choir, and a song with the Forget-Me-Not Chorus. Last, I'm looking forward to the upcoming digital Resilience concert for The Washington Chorus on June 11th. Details & ticket link below: 

An artistic journey of perseverance and endurance through music, filmmaking, and poetry. The Washington Chorus, Eugene Rogers, Artistic Director, invites you to "Resilience," their upcoming digital choral program highlighting the power of music and the human spirit.

The White Lady of Kinsale

Image
The White Lady of Kinsale by Stacie Eirich  Silent and sorrowful, she haunts the soldiers of Charles Fort at their posts, floating above its ramparts, a bride in an ivory wedding dress, willowy and pale. Lithe and mournful, she strikes fear and sadness into their hearts, raven hair and ebony eyes, an eerie shadow spied on moonlit nights. Melancholy and doleful, she weeps in wretched quietude, above tumultuous Irish seas, peering over the rocky cliffs of Kinsale. Desolate and woeful, she dwells within its ruins for centuries - still, forever young, a frail specter eternally grieving her lost love. 💔 *This  poem was inspired by the word "Haunted" and is based on the famous 17th century legend of the White Lady of Kinsale, Ireland. She was a young bride who committed suicide on her wedding night after finding her husband dead (at the hand of her father), jumping off the ramparts of Charles Fort in County Cork. Her ghostly spirit, dr...

Thank you to those who followed my poetic journeys; you have read my heart within my poems.

One Glorious Chorus

Image
  DCINY Production/Dan Wright Photography/June 9, 2024 One Glorious Chorus  for my fellow SAHC singers & friends  We step out of a yellow cab into a swirl  of sounds, of lights, of colors, step into  a hotel elevator going up, up 39 floors,  our window view silver skyscrapers  in a sea of blue, a cacophony of traffic and noise    stretching on, interrupted by a breath of green  blooming across its center, a horse-drawn carriage,  summer jazz and food truck smells mingling in city air.  We step into a rehearsal room, relax and feel the comfort of a space of song, the way our voices weave as we sing,  the way this city welcomes and overwhelms us, the way  our many voices gel into one glorious sound, one glorious chorus in this city of wonder, this city of sounds and peoples and languages  and love, this city where dreams are made and lights seldom dim,  t his city where paces quicken,...
