New Gig!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:02:00 +0000

You're hearing it here first! Aren't you so glad you're on the mailing list?!

Catherine Getchell, who is an amazing trumpeter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vqAmpHSWfI), has asked me to perform with her. I'll be singing Alme ingrate by Joseph I. The show is Catherine's, but I'm very honored to be asked to participate. And it's free to the public, prefect for these economic times. I hope that you can all make it.

New Music!

More music than you can shake a stick at. Go ahead and try!

Ok, seriously. I've uploaded an amazing piece from Puccini's "Turandot" titled Tu che di gel sei cinta. Yes, it's from the recital. I can't believe it's been nearly two months already. But there are other irons in the fire.

Pass along the website to everyone you can. Grass roots advertising does wonders.

More Music Available!

I've added another song from the recital. You can't go wrong with the melancholy of Spleen. Give it a listen.

I have an audition coming up in April. If all goes well, I'll have some news by July.

Thank you to everyone that attended the recital. It was a wonderful success. There is a CD forthcoming, but for right now I'll give you little snippets. So for this week, we have Summertime from Porgy and Bess by Gershwin. Click on the Media link to give a listen. There will be another next week.

Two weeks and counting!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:08:00 +0000

Yes, it's almost that time. My recital is at St. John's in Lansdale on Feb 15th @ 4pm. This has been several months in the making, so I hope you can make it. Many thanks to Judy Malis Rosenfeld, my voice teacher, who has been enduring my insanity these many weeks. Also a huge thank you to David Furniss who will be my accompanist.

This is a truly beautiful program. German lieder from Schubert, French art songs from Faure, and the best in Italian and American arias. Yes, opera. But you will love it, because it's wonderful. All that and the St. John's Choir to sing Mozart with me. How can you say no? See, you can't!

Bring friends and loved ones. Bring strangers off the street.

My Recital

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 02:01:00 +0000

Sunday, February 15th, 4:00 pm at St. John’s in Lansdale
500 West Main Street, Lansdale, PA
http://www.st-johns-ucc.org/

I’ve been asked to give a recital at St. John’s. This is a pretty big deal. It’s an hour of me singing. Just me. And they don’t ask just anyone, so I’m pretty honored. The music will consist of German lieder, French art songs, Italian and American arias, and one piece with the choir.

This is very important to me. Recitals don’t come along every day, or even every year. I’ve been working hard for the past few months to make this a special concert. What would make it even more special is your presence. It’s a free show, so why not? My goal is to completely fill this space. I want it to be standing room only. I want St. John’s to be happy they asked me to sing.

So please save the date and attend if you can. Also, send this email to anyone you think might be interested. Bring friends and family to enjoy a wonderful afternoon of incredible music.

I have one request apart from your attendance. Please do not bring flowers. I know that it’s customary, and I greatly appreciate the thought. But if I fill this church like I want, I’d have to build an addition to my house just for the flowers. Instead, please donate to St. John’s with their free-will offering after the show. Your funds will help to keep the music program going. And if they have a big haul that night, maybe they’ll invite me back.

I look forward to seeing you there. I know it’s going to be great.

More Gigs and Photos!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:04:00 +0000

Can you handle it? Yet another gig and another photo. I only wish I could keep this up forever.

I'll be caroling with the Merry Madrigal Singers on November 28, 2008. We'll be part of the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony in Skippack, PA. We're starting from The Body Serene at 6:00pm and caroling through the shops. It's always a wonderful time. You can click here for more info.

I've uploaded another of the amazing shots from Scott Church. Seriously, if you want beautiful photos, he's the man to call.

A reminder to save the dates:
December 14, 2008: Annual Christmas Concert @ St. John's
February 15, 2009: Recital @ St. John's

More Shows and Photos

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:37:00 +0000

Yes, I promised more photos, and here I have another show update. But first things first. I've posted another pic from my shoot with Scott Church. I just love them. I've got one more that will be coming, but you have to wait until next month.

So, new show news. (Wow, that's a strange sentence.)

I'll be performing with the St. John's Chancel Choir in their annual Christmas Concert. The North Penn High School Chamber Singers will also be singing with us. There is some beautiful music prepared. As always, the concert is free with a free-will donation. The show is Sunday, December 14 @ 7pm. Check the gig box above for more details. I hope to see you there.

News: Shows and Photos

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:01:00 +0000

I’m just too excited that I had to share my news with you right away.

First up. David Furniss of St. John’s U.C.C. has asked me to perform a recital. Why is that so exciting? Because it’s a whole lot of me singing whatever I like. I’m actually very honored. David doesn’t ask just anyone to perform a recital. The congregation has been very supportive of me, and I’m grateful for such an opportunity. The recital is scheduled for February 15, 2009 @ 4pm. Mark your calendars now because this is one night only.

Second, I spent today at the studio of Scott Church. I needed new headshots, and I knew he was the man to see. I’ve been following his career for several years, and I’m enthralled with his work. We spent several hours creating some beautiful shots. I’ve uploaded one already in the Media section. I’ll be releasing the others over time. Hey, it keeps you coming back.

So mark your calendars. February 15, 2009 @ 4pm - St. John's. No, I can’t say it enough.

New Photos!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:37:00 +0000

Hello everyone. I've posted some new photos. You'll notice a lovely shot by Bill Murphy (no, not THAT Bill Murphy) on the main page. There are also two new shots on the Media page.

I will have some wonderful updates in the coming months. Can't rush perfection, now. But I can tell you that once it's all finished, you'll be very happy.

Upcoming Show

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Brozenske) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:04:00 +0000

My next show is The Foreigner by Larry Shue. I'm not staring in this one. I'm back working the technical side. I'm the assistant director, and I'm running lights and sound.

The Foreigner is a very funny show. The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.

Show Dates: June 13, 14, 15*, 20, 21, 22*, 27, 28, 29*
All evening performances 8 PM, * Sunday matinee 2 PM

Hello everyone. Welcome to my new website. This has been a long time coming, and many thanks to D.E. Christman for building it. It's more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I certainly hope you like it as well. Thank you to Heidi Murphy and R. Cameron Purdy for helping with my bio, and a final thank you to all the photographers who provided their work.

Feel free to look around. There's news on the main page along with my blog. There are photos and music, and there will be more of both in the coming months. There's an area to contact me, and of course the obligatory links section.
