It's Back!

Its that time of year again, concert season! With our first concert of the year coming up for Schola, I have been thinking about all of the different things I’ve done, shows I’ve been in and the incredible variety of music I’ve had a chance to sing.

I grew up with an affinity for all things theatre and fabulous. I think it has something to do with my daily Richard Simmons video as a kid (thanks mom!) and took to the stage at the tender age of 3 as a dalamation in miss missy’s dance recital. Since then there was no stopping me! I was incredibly blessed with parents that supported and gently pushed me towards further goals in theatre, not to mention could afford to pay for countless dance classes and costumes (again, thanks mom and dad!)

Always looking for more time on stage and singing more things than I actually spoke as a child, opera was the obvious next, and might I add, glorious step in my life. Being a part of Shreveport Opera opened a whole new world, and I loved every second of it. I would start college as a music major because of it. Although I am no longer a music major singing, music, and pageantry are still a huge part of my life

I am so blessed and honored to be a part of Schola Cantorum Choir here at Arkansas. I have met some amazing people that seriously are some of the most talented people I have ever met. We’ve done some awesome, and sometimes kind of weird, music and each year we continue to grow together as a choir.

All this being said, I’m now going to shamelessly promote schola! If you’re in the Fayetteville area Thursday night you should definitely come check us out! The concert is at the Walton Arts Center at 7:30 pm Thursday! We will also be singing with two other choirs on campus, Concert Choir and Inspirational Singers! Tickets are $1 for students and $5 for everyone else. I promise it will be a great show!!
