ISing's mission is to share innovative and exceptional choral music while supporting local non-profit organizations. ISing Choir is based in Beaverton, Oregon and serves the Portland metro area. They share the culture of music with their audience and theyexplore the culture of music abroad through regular tours. They perform concerts of the finest that choral music has to offer under the direction of Conductor and Artistic Director, Stephen Galván.
Alicia Davenport, Soprano, studied vocal performance at the Conservatoire National de Région in Nantes, France, under the tutelage of Bernard Clement, and at Whitman College with the acclaimed Winifred Ringhoffer. Ms. Davenport's international career includes performances with ISing Choir, the Boston Pops, the Oregon Symphony and the chœur régional de l'orchestre philharmonique des Pays de la Loire. She has performed with conductors such as Norman Leyden, James DePriest, Eric Ericson, Robert Shaw, Paul Colleaux, Marc Soustrot and Stephen Galván.
Ms. Davenport has performed with the Portland Summerfest Opera for four years and been on stage with the Portland Opera. In 2012, she was the soprano soloist in ISing Choir's performance of "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff and "Luminosity" by James Whitbourn. Ms. Davenport's performance of the "Habanera" from "Carmen" for "ISing in Paris" in March 2014 had audience members on their feet begging for more. Most recently, she performed the solo in "Ride on, King Jesus" with ISing Choir in Notre Dame de Paris.
Kirk Hansen, Baritone, grew up in the north woods of Minnesota and studied vocal music at Bemidji State University. He received his degree in vocal music performance at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and has performed with the Eugene Opera. Mr. Hansen enjoys many different styles of music and paid many of his college expenses singing in various rock bands, blending an unexpected operatic vocal style with typical rock elements. He can perform many Jim Henson Muppet voices, his favorite being Cookie Monster.
Mr. Hansen has had roles in several operas including Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar", Colline in "La Boheme", and Geronimo in "Il matrimonio segreto". ISing audiences first heard Mr. Hansen when he performed the Baritone solos in "Carmina Burana" in 2012. He has toured Europe multiple times and was honored to sing the Baritone solo in Stephen Galván's "Missa Brevis de Harmonia" with ISing Choir in Notre Dame de Paris in June 2014. Hansen very much enjoys singing with ISing Choir and has found a home there with many friends and exciting opportunities to sing and serve the community.
