Voice Recital June 1, 2009
Posted by Beth in Music, Personal.trackback
Eva has been singing for as long, if not longer, than she has been talking. Even as a babe in arms, she attended to music. For the past 2 years, she has been studying voice with Krista Enos, a very special person in our lives.
We first met Krista when Eva took gymnastics from her many years ago. Eva also did 2 years of Group Gym with Krista as the choreographer and coach. Group Gym is a multi-age, multi-skill-level tumbling-dance-gymnastics routine done to music. The kids would practice all year and then gather with other Group Gym programs from throughout the state to share their work.
We first learned of Krista’s musical ability when she invited us to attend a performance of her women’s acapela ensemble, Solstice (see sidebar.) When Eva decided she wanted to improve her singing, we asked Krista to help.
Sonya, one of the other vocalists who performed in yesterday’s recital (the middle one in the trio) was also in Group Gym. That was several years ago when Sonya was one of the “older girls” and was taller than Eva!! It’s a very special treat for us to have shared yet another performance with Sonya.
I need to get permission to post the other girls, but until I do, enjoy Eva’s part of the recital.
Wow, very impressive!
Beth, I am so glad I was there to watch and listen to Eva. I am so proud of her! It was wonderful. She is an amazing young lady.

Wow! Congratulations on your great performance, Eva. –Mr. Powell
I’m sorry to have missed Eva’s performance. I absolutely love Phantom of the Opera and Wicked; she preformed the songs so well. What an amazing voice! I’m guessing Popular was her favorite. 😀 Eva is such a talented musician too.

Bravo, Eva!!! And Beth and John – how blessed you are to have such a beautiful songbird in your house! The clarity of her voice is stunning, and she has a beautiful vibrato. Thanks for sharing!
