About
Angelina is an adult student. She started out originally as an aspiring Latin professor, but quickly changed tracks to vocal music in order to apply her linguistic background in a general setting. While studying to be a professional musician is intimidating for a late starter, Angelina never regretted this decision. Work is no longer work, but is rather a way of life.
Angelina's analytical and organizational skills continue to impress upon others and helps her make great strides in learning music. Currently, she is involved in numerous choirs in the Washington Metropolitan area in Maryland, namely the National Philharmonic Chorale, the Montgomery Community College's Chorus and Chambers Singers, and recently the University of Maryland Palestrina Choir. As her colleagues say, age gives Angelina the advantage of foresight, and her background in classical languages certainly gives her an edge in the field of vocal performance.
