Here is a copy of the article I wrote last year for Classical Singer (offered here with permission):

Note: I am not producing as much now as when I wrote this article. I am working, however, on several solo projects for 2009 and hope to be doing quite a bit of performing starting in the Spring. More later . . .

Dear Friends, 

Here is live audio from a performance I gave at the 8th Annual Interfaith Celebration of the Birth of Christ in Lehi, UT. It was a kind of strange set up, with the performance area open to an exhibit hall, so there is quite a bit of background noise from people milling about. Still, I really gave my all and I think the performance was 98% great. I hope you enjoy it and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you.

All the best,
Ryan
