| Introduction | CONFESSIONS OF A MODERN VICTORIAN A woman quite at home (mostly) in the 21st Century, but with one foot firmly planted in the 19th I’ve had a career. Often a very active and public one because I’m a “classical” singer. I've retired from public performance now, but it was a great run. I performed with the best orchestras and conductors and colleagues, and musically it was wonderfully satisfying. I’ve met, and taught, and been taught by a lot of amazing people in this life. I have grown children and remarried when I was in my forties to an accomplished scientist. (I like to say that he’s my second and last husband!) I have four grandchildren….my oldest granddaughter currently lives with us. |
