I served as Opera-Matic Director from 2009 to 2017.
Sample Project: Joyful Passage Neighborhood Serenade Series
Opera-Matic’s third and final installment of the 2016 Joyful Passage Serenade Series, where un-sung heroes and places are sung back into public memory. Our culminating event celebrated the people, places and everyday objects that make things, and make things better, in and around Mozart Park. Participants played with a Rube Goldberg-esque “Ghost” Mustard Factory, a singing Loteria game, composed do-it-yourself odes, and turn mustard seeds into mustard!
Previous serenades were located around Mozart Park, Simons Park, and Humboldt Park in Chicago. Odes were written and celebrations created to honor community mentors.
