My internship with the Chorale

I am a Communications major at ASU West – so learning about public relations and marketing has given me a better understanding of how to apply my classroom knowledge to the real world… because ultimately that’s what an internship is supposed to teach you.
So, what is the typical day of a Public Relations Intern anyway? [...]

Across the pond with Chandos and friends

Last month, Charles, Jen and I traveled to London to celebrate Chandos‘ 30th Anniversary (our record label). Originally, we didn’t think we could make the trip, but due to some very generous board members and patrons, we were able to go on the cheap. I wanted to share highlights of our trip and here you [...]

…Oh, What a Beautiful Day!

We had just arrived backstage for the Saturday evening performance and I asked my co-star Jenn Raithel-Newman how her day was going. Her reply was great, “…any day that you are doing what you love to do is a good day!” Absolutely true–and what a good three days we had this past weekend.

backstage with Sean

I was at Friday night’s “Salute to Rodgers & Hammerstein” concert and was treated to Sean Carter Campbell’s debut with The Phoenix Symphony.  It was a fun concert!  The audience was humming along and tapping their feet with these wonderful age-defining tunes.  I wonder what kind of Pops shows of the future they’ll have for [...]

On the eve of my debut with The Phoenix Symphony
