I am an opera and concert singer with American and Swiss citizenship. I was born and reared in Kansas USA, educated in Kansas and the Juilliard School New York City, and now I am resident in Switzerland. I travel too much for my work and so my home is managed from my friends Greta and Nicole, who will help you discovering the hidden treasures this area has to offer. :-)
