Welcome to my "Voice Box"
#ThinkOutsideYourBox 

​"Becoming a Mother has been the most rewarding thing I've ever accomplished.​ 

 I feel more love, passion, and fulfillment in life; which in turn, enriches my artistry.
​
When my creative self is fulfilled, it makes me a better Mom." - Rachel Sparrow
​Please join me in normalizing motherhood
within performing artists' culture.
#ThinkOutsideYourBox -a hashtag implying 3 things:
​
1. To be selfless - to think outside or beyond your own "box" or wants. Helping, healing, and uplifting others.

​2. To celebrate the effort it takes to stretch yourself.   
​
3. To empower one to cut through their proverbial
​"box" made of societally-induced-parameters
that may limit or oppress their spirit.

I am very honored to be a guest soloist this evening at my alma mater, Northwestern University... for quite possibly one of the most difficult and rewarding and vocally acrobatic pieces I think I've ever encountered.

Program starts at approximately

 6 pm Central Time
The first piece on the program is about 11 mins long,
and then "Sparrows" is second, and it is about 19 mins long.
There will be a brief intermission, and then the final instrumental piece
on the program is around 30 mins long if you wish to
stay tuned to see Daniel's awesomeness on that piece!!


Be sure to hook the sound on your device up
to some nicer quality speakers,
if you can, for an enhanced experience!


HERE IS THE LIVE STREAM LINK:
