Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to make you aware of a couple recital dates in the central Illinois area this month! I will be singing with my mother, Kathy Tombaugh, at the piano–we have a really varied and neat hour-long recital planned. It should be a musical treat!

Dates are:
Tuesday, March 19th at 7:00 PM at Evelyn Chapel in Bloomington, IL on IWU’s Campus: 1301 N Park Street; Bloomington
~and~
Thursday, March 21st at 7:00 PM at Park Presbyterian Church in Streator, IL: 201 N. Vermillion Street; Streator

The concert is free and open to the public; there will be a free-will offering for anyone wishing to donate towards my upcoming audition tour in Germany and Austria in April 2013 and help cover recital costs. Musical selections will range from opera, to musical theatre, art song, and gospel!

If you have any questions, concerns, comments, please don’t hesitate to email me at: kate@katetombaugh.com

Thank you for your support!

All the best,
Kate Tombaugh
