![]()
Hope has been singing with Buffalo Choral Arts since 2010. She follows in the footsteps of her grandmother Bernice, who was friends with Robert Schulz, and her mother Ellen, who both sang with BCAS during its early years. Hope’s love of choral singing began while singing with the Chamber Singers at SUNY Geneseo, where she completed a Bachelors in Vocal Performance. She also has a masters degree in Communication Science from SUNY Fredonia and is a Speech-Language Pathologist. She has sung at Chautauqua, with various choirs and churches in the WNY area, and currently cantors at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Swormville. Having the opportunity to sing this piece is very meaningful to Hope as she has a personal devotion to praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and Jesus the Divine Mercy- “Merciful Jesus, grant them everlasting rest”.![]()
