It was a pleasure to work with great American mezzo-soprano Susan Graham in her curation and coaching of this recital. I absolutely love this piece, even though it is incredibly challenging to sing. All of the songs from Liszt's 3 Sonetti di Petraca are this way. You have to pull out all the tricks you have from under your sleeve. However, the challenge is so much fun, and the music is so worth...

This aria from Georges Bizet's opera, Les pêcheurs de perles, is one of the most haunting and delicate melodies ever composed. Because of these qualities, it also makes it incredibly treacherous to sing. This piece has become so important to me within this last year, and I will continue to study it and improve it for the future and perhaps for the rest of my performing career. It was my great j...

It was extraordinary for me to be invited to Paris, France, to sing for the 25th Anniversary of Mezzo TV-one of Europe's leading broadcast channels for culture and the arts. I was also special to be accompanied on my trip by Nino Sanikidze, who traveled with me from LA Opera. I was fortunate to sing some of my favorite music in the most beautiful city in the world in a unique venue! What can be...

I want to share the recording of my performance at Operalia 2022 of the romanze, "Bella enamorada," from the Zarzuela, El último romántico by Reveriano Soutullo and Juan Vert. This reminds me of the greatest moment of the week, second only to winning first prize-singing this for Maestro Plácido Domingo. His voice was the one who inspired me to sing this piece, and being able to make this music ...

In his lifetime, Britten composed five canticles. They were all written for voice and with various instrumentation. This piece was his first canticle, written in 1947 for the memorial concert for Dick Sheppard, former vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields. Britten and Peter Pears gave the first performance. Although not all the canticles are based on a religious text, this particular one is, and the...

This video was taken from my Master's Recital at the New England Conservatory of Music in Williams Hall. It has been over a year since this concert, but I have never released footage until now! Of everything I sang that night, this was one of my favorites! This cycle is written so well for both the piano and the voice, and it is a great ride. It truly shows off the Spanish-Andalusian sound and ...

It was my pleasure to perform this song in my Master's Recital, in May 2021. Being half Colombian, it was incredible to discover Jaime León Ferro's music. Colombian Art Song for piano and voice with Colombian poetry. Such gorgeous and moving music. I can't wait to explore this more! Jaime León Ferro was a Colombian composer, director, and pianist. His compositions span a wide vocal and piano re...

It is not often that a singer gets to be a part of such incredible chamber music. I am so grateful I was able to do this during my time at NEC in Jordan Hall and with such brilliant musicians! It was a magnificent time and I am very proud to have been a part of it. Thank you to Tanya Blaich and Laurence Lesser for extending the invitation and putting all this together! On Wenlock Edge is an inc...

I am just finishing my second week as an apprentice at Santa Fe Opera, and I could not help but remember the fantastic time I had in the summer of 2021 here! This video is an excellent byproduct of my time here. This aria sung by the character Ferrando is so magical. It is Mozart at some of his best. It is such a pleasure for me to sing it, and I hope you enjoy it! Piano: Carol Anderson Compose...

I don't care what anyone says, this song is not overplayed! :D I wanted to share this rendition I sang live at a Christmas Concert in my hometown of Riverside, California! I had the special pleasure to have my dad, Luis León, join me on the organ and my good friend, Sergio Leiva, on the piano. Merry Christmas! Recorded at La Sierra University Church Piano - Sergio Leiva Song Composed by - Adolp...

I am very excited to be streaming a recital recorded and edited in Boston along with my colleagues and friends, Emma Roberston (soprano) and Hanzheng Li (pianist)! We have titled the recital Love, Loss, and Healing because we were seeking to summarize some of the pain of this last year and point to a brighter future. There is nothing like music to help inspire healing! We hope you tune in Satur...

I'm back posting videos for 2021! I took a little break while I moved back to Boston to finish my Master's of Music degree at New England Conservatory. However, I will try hard to keep posting videos weekly for all of you, my viewers. I cannot thank you enough for your support of my music through this channel. February is Black History Month. What do Handel's Messiah and Black History Month hav...

Peace begins with you and me. The first days of 2021 seemed to have a little more hope as vaccines started rolling out in the United States and worldwide. Then, what we saw on the news made all our guts wrench. Just when we think we've seen it all, something else despicable happens. This time, at the "citadel of liberty" in Washington D.C. In these moments, we can feel hopeless and scared. Howe...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wanted to post this song from my most recent vespers Christmas concert because I think it brings a beautiful message for the future in a time when we need one the most. Placido Domingo Jr. wrote this wonderful song in 2000 for his famous father, and it was recorded for the Three Tenors Christmas Concert. The title translates to "A New Century," and the lyrics send a heartfelt ...
