Beth has been singing with a guitar and an open heart (and open lungs!) since she was nine years old, making music with her family in the kitchen! As an adult, she has performed with choirs, groups, and solo around the Denver area for over 50 years. She delights in many styles of music, including folk, jazz, blues, show tunes, classical, and even opera.
Audience members and fellow musicians describe her performances as “…inspirational”…”heartfelt, and beautiful as well”…”warm and inviting”…”a great singer (with an) amazing voice!”
“..a talented musician…I also appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail she applies in preparation for her performances.”
“From Schubert to American Songbook to adaptations of traditional music that span centuries and continents, Beth’s musical choices share a common thread—a keen ear for the poignant and a love of music…Beth’s strong alto voice and thoughtful accompaniments…always serve the song, and they grow better with each performance.”
Beth is looking forward to sharing song styles, old and new, with the La Dolce Vita community, family and friends. Please come out and enjoy the fun!
