A defining moment of favorite LA Master Chorale onstage experience:
I had never really liked opera in college, but my first professional opera gig was onstage with Plácido Domingo and Sherrill Milnes. I thought, "Oh, I like this!!"
What are you listening to these days?
I love the "Latin Essentials Radio" on Pandora, and the LAMC channel that I created, of course!
