About Heather
I am a graduate of Roosevelt University, Chicago, with a masters degree in a vocal performance. I’m a member of the Chicago Symphony Chorus and perform professionally throughout Chicagoland singing opera, classical music, musical theater, and pop music.
I have worked with the American Girl Theater, Imagination Theater, Theater Hikes, Light Opera Works, Grant Park Symphony Chorus, and was a guest artist with the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists.
I was a Silver Award winner at the 2003 April Spring Festival in Pyongyang, North Korea, as well as a semi-finalist in the Tokyo International Vocal Competition.
I sang the National Anthem for the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Fire and the Peoria Chiefs, and have worked with other area groups and companies including the Caroling Party, Route 66, Table for 5, Park Ridge Gilbert and Sullivan Society, and the Savoy-aires.
