Supporting a Good Cause in Virginia

GW musicians are very involved in the community, even outside the beltway!

Together with GW alumna, Grace Srinivasan, and pianist Neil Weston, I performed a voice recital in Loudoun County, VA over the weekend.  (Please forgive the shameless self-promotion!)

The recital was part of a concert series designed to raise funds to repair the Old Stone School House. About 30 guests attended the event, which also included a dinner, wine tasting, and an art show.

Together, we performed a variety of works ranging from Italian art songs to Broadway favorites, including "All I Ask of You" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera and "Anything You Can Do" from Annie Get Your Gun.

Here's a clip of Grace and me singing "I Don't Need Anything but You" from the musical, Annie:



Here's a view the audience usually can't see.  Check out what the recital looks like from backstage:

Such a fun evening!  And there's more concerts to come, including a violin recital in October and a Christmas celebration in December.
