Druid City/YFS Thank You

I received a lovely thank you note from the students of the Druid City Opera Workshop:

"Thank you for giving us such a wonderful understanding of our bodies and what yoga can do for us as singers. We'll forever cherish everything you taught us!"

It is so rewarding to help empower performers to sing better, to find vocal and expressive freedom. I look forward to many more YFS workshops.

Clara a.k.a. Kelli O'Hara

The National NATS convention is about a month away, and I am excited about the featured performer: Kelli O'Hara. Originally Kristin Chenoweth had been the featured artist, but I suppose Glee and the Broadway production of Promises, Promises created a scheduling conflict. Kelli should be a good replacement. She has similar crossover appeal yet is a bit less known. The original Clara in The Light in the Piazza, she studied with the same voice teacher Kristin did, Florence Birdwell. What a great name! BTW, Kelli had a cruel cameo in Sex and the City 2, so I have to remind myself that she was just acting and didn't mean to demean Carrie Bradshaw.
