My performance calendar for 2025-2026 includes new works by Russ Kaplan, B.E. Boykin, and Heather Christian . I'm so excited to dive into new music, new characters, and new experiences! Reggaeton Project I am currently recruiting music industry professionals to interview for my Reggaetón Project. I am excited to share I recently signed a contract with publisher Rowman and Littlefield (recently acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing) to publish a general interest book on reggaetón! My book Reggaetón: A Surprising Story of Migration and Empowerment will be published in 2027 and focus on the cultural forces, artists, and producers that together created the pan-Latinx genre of reggaetón. Performances This past April I performed Mahler's 2nd Symphony with Bloomington Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall. The April 6 concert "Transcendent Mahler" was a big success! Manny Laureano conducted the “Resurrection” Symphony of Gustav Mahler, No. 2 in C Minor, joined by Angelica Encore Choral Ensemble, the Normandale Concert Choir, and the Twin Cities Catholic Chorale. I performed the iconic alto solo alongside talented soprano, Tracey Engleman. Click the buttons below to learn more about my professional work or to contact me. |
