The Story

Julie was working very hard in early 1992 with her opera coach, Terry Lusk, of the University of Texas. She decided to put on a concert of Operatic Arias, and this was very well attended and enthusiastically received. Fortunately, the great  Bob Nagy recorded a superb performance at the University United Methodist Church in Austin. More than 500 people attended this performance. Julie was ready for them! Again, the expert pianist, Mark Moreman, was her accompanist. Julie eventually gave two other performances at University United Methodist Church under the title, "Operatic Arias" , and these will be presented on this site later.   Please relax and enjoy the superb mp3s that have been created for your listening pleasure.
