Event Production

“Music creates human connection- I’m most inspired by how music lifts the soul and connects all of us, it can be a way to bring people together. I love using opera and music with that classical tradition to also bring in a flavor of the new, to presence different cultural backgrounds and our wonderful diversity.”

Live music for events, weddings

I curate live music tailored to your event, with a specialization in finding great up-and-coming voices from minority communities and internationally, female composers, and GLBTQ+ talent— highlighting the rich cultural diversity that also exists in classical music, opera, and traditional and specialty international music.

Democratizing opera has long been a passion of mine, to bring to the people music that is part of the tradition but creative and memorable in different ways. I have produced musical events in shopping malls and flash mobs in public places.

Possibilities include: Opera in public places, epic or inspirational or tender live performances for weddings, curated musical happenings of any length.
