Help Power Music Beyond the Stage

I’m proud to sing with the Orpheus Male Chorus of Phoenix, and I’m glad to be part of our Power the Music campaign, launching on Arizona Gives Day. 🎶

I’ve been singing with Orpheus for 13 years, and it’s been one of the most meaningful creative communities in my life. ❤️ Orpheus has been bringing people together through music for nearly a century, and we’re currently in our 97th season. 97 seasons! 🎵

What makes me especially proud is that our work goes far beyond the concert stage. We bring music to veterans and seniors, mentor young singers, help prepare food for people who are hungry, and share the uplifting, healing power of song with people facing memory loss. 🇺🇸👴👵🍽️

Over the years, Orpheus has also given me opportunities to grow not just as a singer, but as a performer and communicator. Through Orpheus, I’ve even had the chance to tour coast to coast and in parts of Europe, which still amazes me when I stop and think about it. ✈️🌍

Through helping teach movement, shaping performance dynamics, and occasionally stepping into featured roles, I’ve been able to stretch my craft in ways that reach into stage presence, public and motivational speaking, and even video production. 🎭🎥 That personal growth is one more reason I care so much about helping Orpheus continue its work in the community.

To help keep that work going, we’re raising $50,000, and I created this page to do my part. 💙

I’m inviting a small circle of friends to join me with a gift of $20 or more over the next 30 days. 🙏 Every donation, at any level, helps support our concerts, outreach programs, and the meaningful human connection that music creates.

👉 Please consider making a donation today and helping me reach my personal goal of $1,000. 🎵

Giving online is fast and easy, and every gift really does make a difference.

Thank you for helping power every note we sing and every life we touch. ✨

With gratitude,
