Many have been asking me about the articles I have been writing for Examiner.com, so here are the links to what I have written. They include an interview with Chloe Agnew from Celtic Woman; reviews of performances by Iron and Wine (best known for the theme song of the Twilight Saga, Flightless Bird, American Mouth; Atlanta Opera (Carmen, Tosca;) Celtic Woman; the Atlanta Symphony; Maria Jose Montiel; Sochi 2014 Olympics Games and the musical Fela! among other things.
By the way, clicks count, so if you can go and take a peak and/or forward them it would be great!
Hope you are enjoying your Winter Break!
Cheers,
Pia
