Being among the LAMC singers who sang for John Williams on Star Wars: The Last Jedi pretty much made my life. Recording live with the orchestra, without cans, and the man himself conducting, was absolutely incredible. Every time I sing at the Hollywood Bowl, on a historic L.A. sound stage, or at Disney Hall, it's a dream and a privilege.
Anything by John Adams has my heart.
The Big Sing in 2018 was a watermark moment for sure. All of those humans, coming together with one voice, was pretty spectacular and something I'll never forget. The High School Choir Festival in 2016 was also very special for me. I wrote my first choral piece for it (dedicated to my Mom, with poetry by my sister) and performed with my awesome LAMC colleagues. That was an unforgettable experience.
