Pat Sort de Sanz, with one of the cooler surnames in the chorale, has been singing with us for three years. A soprano, she finds it impossible to choose a favorite piece we’ve performed. By day, Pat is a technical enablement architect. Sounds like somebody I could use around the house! (I think.)
Pat has always loved to sing and remembers her earliest choral experiences singing in church growing up. She also joined the choir at her junior high school and later, in high school, too. She also took private vocal lessons for several years and performed in musicals. She sang with the California Master Chorale under Dr. Larry Ball and the William Hall Master Chorale. And now, we’ve got her, we hope, for good!
“Music is my passion, but not just any music. I like to be challenged and I love singing with
a group of people that also like that, too,” Pat says. “I love singing for Eliza because she will not let us get away with just ‘OK;’ she makes us be the best that we can be. As a result, it is lots of fun, even though it is hard work at times.” Don’t you love someone who loves a challenge? Me too.
Pat is also a super skiier, preferring the black diamond downhill slopes and skiing in the trees. We had no idea you were such a snow monster, Pat!
When she’s not singing with us, Pat enjoys listening to mariachis, big band, classic rock, and world music.
