Andrea has appeared as a guest artist with the Portland Symphony Orchestra (PSO). She also sang the role of Mother Jeanne in the PSO’s presentation of Poulenc’s opera Dialogues of the Carmelites.

Solo repertoire includes Mozart’s Parto! Ma tu ben mio (La Clemenza di Tito); Schubert’s Der Hirt auf dem Felsen; Robert S.
