Karen has enjoyed singing in a choir somewhere since joining her church choir in California at the age of 5. Her love of choral music was nurtured through high school and college where she was a member of the UConn Concert Choir. She has also sung with The Manchester Symphony Orchestra and Chorale and the Hartford Chorale and is currently a member of CitySingers of Hartford and is the alto section leader for the Center Congregational Church Chancel Choir in Manchester, CT. When not singing, Karen enjoys watching the UConn Women’s basketball team with her husband Steve and attempting to grow plants in her heavily shaded garden.
