Elijah (Mendelssohn)

Lord God of Abraham

In the character of Elijah, we find a powerful intersection of authority and humility. Sharing "Lord God of Abraham" at Steinmetz Hall, under the sensitive baton of Dr. Robert Hasty, allowed for a moment of stillness amidst the fire—a testament to the enduring power of a simple, honest prayer.

Fiddler on the Roof (REEL)

Tevye is a man in a constant conversation with God and his community. Bringing that simple, honest dialogue to the magnificent Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillps Center as part of UCF Celebrated the Arts was a lesson in how the most personal stories can create the most universal connections.

Is Not His Word Like A Fire

If "Lord God of Abraham" is the stillness, then "Is not His word like a fire" is the storm. Under the baton of Dr. Jeffrey Redding, capturing the sheer momentum of this aria was a highlight—a moment where Elijah’s conviction becomes a visceral, consuming flame.

"Is this a dagger I see before me?" Act 1

The descent into madness begins. Witness the haunting "Dagger Monologue" from Act 1 of Verdi's Macbeth. As the line between reality and hallucination blurs, the crown feels closer than ever.
