Good Evening, Fam!

It’s been a gift to be back together after break. I love the fun we have together and hearing the beautiful music we make...

Happy New Year, Lifted! Family -

We made it through the holidays and into a new year! I’m incredibly excited for what’s to come! This year will bring loads more opportunities, lots of adventure and many ways to show up in community to spread light and hope!

Hey Lifted! Family -

WOW! I’m still floating on JOY after Sunday’s concert! It’s definitely one of my favorites of ALL of the concerts!!! I am so very proud of each of you and the way we showed up as a community to share hope and light! Hearts were touched and souls were definitely “lifted”!

Hey Lifted! Family -

Can you believe our Christmas concert is this week!?! It feels like the season just started, yet here we are and I’m SO excited! To all those who were a little nervous, our young people sound AMAZING and they worked so hard at yesterday’s rehearsal. I couldn’t be more proud. I’m looking forward to our full dress rehearsal on Saturday!

Hey Lifted! Family -

What a week! Hopefully the power is back on for those of you who lost it and life is getting back to normal. I am thankful that we were able to rehearse on Wednesday to fine tune the songs for Christmas. There are only two weeks to go before our concert, so now is the time for extra practice using the Spotify playlist...

Hey Lifted! Family -

I continue to be grateful for the JOY that this choir brings to my life! It’s so needed in this season. You all are a beautiful image of hope and light. Thank you for continuing to show up and show love! I’m looking forward to sharing in song together tomorrow...

Hey Lifted! Family -

Whew! What a week. I wish I had all the words at the moment to share the depths of my heart (I don’t but I’m grateful for the reminder from Black Liturgies that it’s ok right now in this season for me to just be.) - Instead of the best words, I have gratitude…

Hey Lifted! Family -

It’s great to be home! I had a fabulous time exploring South Korea, traveling from Seoul to Busan and back, learning the culture, enjoying the food and most of all, visiting our daughter Lynia. The city of Seoul reminds me of a busier and brighter New York!

We have had an amazing couple of weeks! Our kids are absolutely crushing it at rehearsals learning the Christmas material, and the Small Ensemble is wrapping up their work with the Seattle Opera’s Jubilee opening with their final performance tonight at McCaw Hall. It feels amazing to be out in the community sharing the Lifted! joy and spirit.

Our rehearsals and workshops are in full swing, and we are making great progress on learning all of our new material!
