Sarah-Kate Chiovitti who graduated from Holy Cross High School in Waterbury in June 2011 will be attending Wagner College in Staten Island in September. Her primary training has been in dance which she started doing at a young age. In her eagerness to fully participate in musical theater productions she began voice training with Christina Rovics as a high school sophomore. She turned into quite a dynamic singer, a strong belter with an impressive range. Her strength in musical theater is in the character role and her innate ability to pick up on accents, the comic touch, and use her acting ability to put a song across.
Christina and I attended A Concert of New Music for Women’s Voices given by the Adesso Choral Society on May 1, 2011 at the G & B Cultural Community Center in Wilton, CT. It was organized and conducted by composer/ flutist / conductor Meg Collins Stoop.
