"The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay holds a very special place in my heart as a staff member and singer through numerous memorable performances and seasons of change. It is with mixed emotions that my family makes an important move to be closer to family and improve the overall situation for the long-term care of our children. It's not goodbye yet as I will be dedicated to supporting the Chorale remotely potentially through the end of the 22-23 season, or until a new Executive Director is hired. I am honored and grateful to have been able to work for such an incredibly highly regarded choral organization and make so many life-long friends along the way.
