\"Lisa<\/a>

Lisa in a recent production of The King and I.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lisa, an alto, is the musical theater aficionado in the chorale! She has 35 years of musical theater and opera performance under her belt, and she studied piano for eight years and took voice lessons for 10. An attorney by day, she\u2019s been singing with the Long Beach Chorale for two years, and her favorite performance has been the Dona Nobis Pacem<\/em> by Ralph Vaughan Williams. As for her favorite movement of that piece?<\/p>\n

\"Lisa<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a tie between the Reconciliation<\/em> movement and the Dirge for Two Veterans<\/em>,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s not all Sondheim and Gershwin, though. \u201cI have an uncanny knack for being in foreign countries at the time of civil unrest or other major political events,\u201d Lisa says. \u201cIn the past I was suspected to work for the CIA but if I told you whether or not it was true, I’d have to kill you.\u201d Very mysterious, indeed!<\/p>\n

\"Pet<\/a>

One of Lisa's pet squirrels.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lisa appreciates the musical challenges and the excellent level of musicality of the director, musicians, and singers she finds in the chorale. She spends her free time traveling, cooking, and feeding her squirrels.<\/p>\n
