    Just moved back to Springfield after many years singing in Seattle’s cathedrals and other choirs. I would be happy to audition. I have an alto to S1 range. Studied basic music theory at Barnard College. As a youngster I sang weekly in several churches and am very familiar with the 1940’s Hymnal, etc.

    Performances and services included:
    Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Durufle, various opera choruses, etc, etc.
