We are please to announce a masterclass workshop and performance for our concert summer series that will feature vocalist Katie McGonalge.

The performance will take place on Tuesday, July 17, 7:30 PM at the First Presbyterian Church of Logan with a reception for meeting the singers to immediately follow in Westminster House.

Katie got her start at Ohio University studying with Dr. You-Seong Kim and took part in many performances including CCM Spoleto and Rising Star Opera Singers in Indiana. Through these and other programs She was ultimately granted opportunities to study with some of the country’s best coaches and singers including Sylvia McNair and David Weeks.

Ms. McGonagle also studied foreign languages and diction for singers, including Italian for a summer in Italy and received her bachelor’s degree in Music Education and a Performance Honors Certificate from Ohio University. She is now under the instruction of Professor Barbara Paver at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music where she is working to achieve her masters degree in voice performance. Her passion for learning about the voice and it’s function have driven her to explore the world of singing and to pursue multiple music degrees.

Katie McGonagle has been a part of countless opera scenes ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to Weber and performed in her first full-stage opera as a junior when she played Lauretta in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi. Katie looks forward to sharing her experiences in voice and movement techniques and teaching others how to excel in musical performance.

Tuesday’s Piano Concert with Jeff Daubenmire was warmly welcomed by more than 150 supporters of the First Presbyterian Church Concert Series in acknowledgment of the man responsible for planning and presenting such diverse and engaging concerts over the years that so many have enjoyed. The stage was his alone Tuesday night, a rare occasion as normally it has been his mission to give the spotlight to others, including our great stable of local talent as well as nationally recognized artists.

There were scores of memorable moments, the two represented here, Over The Rainbow and a Christmas Season Medley, included slideshows and were well received. The CD reception afterwards was a great success. While Sounds of the Christmas Season sold out, we will be offering it again at upcoming concerts and through the website shortly.
