Carousel in concert, a new bar, and a new me!

Saturday June 9th I'm singing Billy Bigelow's Soliloquy from the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Carousel!  I hope you can make it!

You can have fun with a son, but you gotta be a father to a girl. - Billy Bigelow Click the poster above for tickets to SGVCC's spring concert!  If you're not familiar with "Soliloquy," sung by Billy Bigelow at the end of Act 1 of Carousel, it's one of the great baritone solos of the 20th Century.  Bigelow is a carny, living hand-to-mouth as an entertainer until his wife gets pregnant.  "Soliloquy" is the process of him realizing he's about to be responsible for a baby. So... it means a lot to me :), and I'm grateful to get to perform it in public for the first time at this event!  I hope you can make it. Ps... We're raffling off two Disney passes at the concert, a $270 value could be yours for as little as $5!  To enter without attending, e-mail choralcompany@gmail.com.
