Please Join us for a beautiful afternoon of song!

Wow! What an incredible workshop we had yesterday on Acting While Singing with the amazing Johnathen Blue! 🎭🎶

We heard such a beautiful variety of songs — different styles, ages, and levels of singers — and explored the acting choices that help us truly connect with our music. The room was filled with laughter, insight, and inspiration.

The afternoon ended with a standing ovation for Blue, whose closing reminder really struck home: “We should know our songs well in order to know ourselves better—and present our stories with pride and dignity.” 💫

A huge thank-you to Johnathen Blue for sharing his artistry, to Sonoma Sings for partnering with us, to the Santa Rosa Junior College for hosting, and to our wonderful accompanist Emma Clark for her beautiful playing!

We had a wonderful afternoon gathering at Susan’s home for our in-person chapter meeting. It was such a pleasure to connect and share ideas face-to-face. For those who weren’t able to attend, I wanted to send along a summary of what was discussed so you’re up to date.

Congratulations to all the finalists—and to EVERYONE who sang today!
​
Studying voice and performing in public takes incredible courage and dedication, and each of you should be proud of the hard work you put into preparing and sharing your music.
A heartfelt thank you to Sonoma State University, its faculty, and staff for collaborating with our NATS chapter to make this festival possible.

Huge thanks to our incredible collaborative pianists, whose artistry and support elevated each performance.

We also extend our gratitude to the teachers and volunteers of this chapter for their dedication, and to our adjudicators for sharing their time and expertise.

Today was truly a labor of love, a celebration of music, and a testament to the importance of keeping the arts alive.
