I’ll be filling up the gorgeous atrium at Busch’s Florist with flute music for their 2025 Bridal Stroll. If you are a bride and planning to attend, I can’t wait to meet you!

I will play flute with the JCFUMC Choir & Orchestra on December 22nd for their Christmas Cantata, 'Appalachian Winter' by Joseph M. Martin.

"Composed in the spirit of folk music, this cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements, creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away in a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals such as Children, Go Where I Send Thee and Go, Tell It on the Mountain. Sacred Harp tunes are retooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies. Thoughtful narration weaves the movements together in a meaningful tapestry of song and Scripture." -Shawnee Press

Performed by the JCFUMC Chancel Choir with full orchestra

Directed by Amelia Padalino, M.M. Choral Conducting, M.M. Voice Performance
