The Choir Girl Blog

Dear readers, I hope you're all well and safe at home. It's not often The Choir Girl ventures in the video world but it may be a tool I use in the post-covid future to share choral media. Edmonton Opera asked me to contribute to their Kitchen Concert series and this video what I came up with! Take a listen as I share a recipe and tunes from Mozart and the Everly Brothers. I also couldn't help but share my current quarantine views so there's a fun surprise during the aria.
