  What do you mean I have not posted since JULY?
Well, life has been busy with readings and concerts and HALLOWEEN...here's the lowdown friends: *We did two No Name Shows at QED in August and September (An keep an eye here as there is a chance for a monthly regular spot there.) *50th Annual Village Halloween Parade - Yes, this year was the 50th Anniversary of this fantastic night of creativity in the city. Marching with Processional Arts is always a joy, particularly after spending Saturdays up there helping build the puppets. This year, the theme was Inside Out/Upside Down because, who isn't these days, and the puppet performance was called Mirror/Mirror. It's a time of reflection, as well as a way for the audience to see themselves in the parade. When Ralph Lee first created the parade, he started with a number of "sweepers" who swept away the bad energy of the day before the creative flow of the evening. The Sweepers were brought back, but this time as 15 foot high illuminated ladies, one of which I had the honor of carrying. "Angela Lansbury" (as I called her) and I had a great night with our fellow sweepers and the mirror shards we had to sweep up. It's always a good crowd and good time. *11/9 Madison Sounds will feature the MABC Choir in a concert as part of the church's 175th anniversary celebration. We'll do some church favorites, but also show you what else we do. Link with more info, HERE. *11/14 We all know what a fan I am of the work of composer Rachel Peters. Well, now I will be part of a reading of a work she has put together with librettist Kevin Thomas Townley, Jr featuring Stephanie Blythe as Blthely Oratonio as Oscar Wilde in Manor of Speaking. Manor of Speaking follows Oscar through a tour of the states he made in 1882 discussing home decor. this will be a trip and I am so excited to hear all this out loud. (This is a private reading, otherwise, there would be a link for sure.) 12/8: One night only with BINDERSUZE: Mashup Mixtape. We're taking our mashups on the ro- okay over to Don't Tell Mama for a one night set. We'll have favorites and new ones, so come on down! link for reservations is HERE. There are a couple of things awaiting full confirmation, which I will surely get up on here when, you know, confirmed. Enjoy the fall weathah, and hope to see you! ✌🏽

When not pandemibaking...
I have finally started a website! I just got these beautiful new headshots done by L Morgan Lee of BLUEphotography, and at last have a place to display them. I've also been getting this self-tape thing DOWN. Madison Avenue Baptist Church, with whom I've been the alto for going on twelve years, like most churches, has gone virtual, so we are making videos of solos and hymns for the time being. (Someday, I'll release an outtake reel.) There've been other opportunities, as well, for practicing this process: virtual choir and concert videos. I've been lucky enough to work with Prospect Theatre Company and, thus, was asked to be part of their lovely video featuring Peter Mills' tune "Two Buoys". (I come in with the alto part and drums>) Two Buoys Next, a dear friend - a jazz musician and choir director, presently living in Italy - started up Singers Without Borders and asked me to be part of this uplifting number: How Can I Keep From Singing? Lastly, The Rigano Songbook asked 42(!) of their closest friends to help out with this wonderful song about an all too relevant and growing segment of our lives as we try to communicate with proper social distancing: Screen To Screen The Rigano has a concert planned for 3/13...and then the world shut down. But far be it for them to not have a show. Yes, the Ides of March Extravaganza is now the Ides of APRIL and will be in virtual form. When those videos go up, I'll be sure to share here. In the meantime, contact me here if you would like me to be part of YOUR virtual - and/or, eventually, LIVE - project. Peace ✌️ AuthorAlexandra de Suze is a singer, actor, drummer who also writes a bit and occasionally makes silly videos Archives
