ABOUT
In Medio is a choral community of accomplished singers who make brave, thoughtful, and relevant music for everyone.
The name of the choir, In Medio, is Latin for “in the midst.” It is a reference to the process of creating something together and honors the importance of change. The best times in life are often when we are in the middle of something—be it a long-term project, a vacation, surrounded by friends and family, or in the middle of a choir. It’s the moment in which you forget the beginning and are not far enough along to see the end.

Her music, whether written for choirs, chamber ensembles, soloists, or orchestras, is deeply rooted in themes of nature, spirituality, and human connection.
