Favorite childhood memory: Running around in the mountains, wide-armed, with my blanket-cape slashing as the East Wind blew across my face.

How many years with UCA: Eighth season!

Profession: Designer/Photographer/Creative

Favorite UCA repertoire: Rachmaninoff Vespers, Mozart Requiem, Fauré Requiem, Adagio for Strings — Adapted for Voice

Favorite Chamber Artists memory: Photographing the choir and Barlow as we entered and rehearsed in Notre Dame — the day before our performance, June 2008. All was magical: overflowing gold-dust. The emotion. The sights. The crashing of the organ. And there we were... at home in our voices.

An accomplishment of which I am proud: I am in the best health I've ever been in, both physically and emotionally.

Dream Vacation: I create a vacation for all my favorite people: a self-sponsored 4-day/3-night grand party, somewhere, just off a white-sanded beach. My guests won't worry about a single expense. They'll get their plane ticket 6 months in advance, asking them to reserve the dates and make arrangements. Hosting all of the people I love most — that really is the dream. Oh, and the dancing starts promptly at 9:27p...
