There’s a performance tonight at the Rio Grande Theater here in Las Cruces, which features the music of Jan Scarbrough. She collaborated with local playwright and director Mark Medoff to produce a number of musicals, most notably “Rock Wedding”. It will be a fun show!

First public recording!

January 30, 2009 By Ian Sidden

So I will post recordings from time to time that give any readers a sense of where I am as a singer and maybe even older recordings to display where I came from too.

The first will be three of Dominic Argento’s Six Elizabethan Songs. These are “Spring”, “Diaphenia”, and “Hymn”. I performed these along with my current accompanist PhoebeJoy Wong at Honor’s Recital here at New Mexico State University in December, 2008. I will be performing these in a few months on a recital.

One Year Later

On March 13, 2020, we had our last large premiere at Theater Dortmund with the chorus onstage. We performed “Die Stumme von Portici” to a nearly empty auditorium, a so-called Geisterpremiere. We nevertheless, of course, gave it our all. There have been other premieres since then as the lockdowns have come and gone, but so […]
