Vroman has had numerous guest appearances with
orchestras including the San Francisco, Chicago, Phoenix, and the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra, with a repertoire ranging from Broadway to Stravinsky.
She has appeared in concert with Michael Tilson Thomas at the piano,
composer Stephen Schwartz, organist David Higgs, and the Empire Brass
Quintet. She can be heard with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra on a new
Debussy recording (Arabesque), and on Christmas Center Stage, a benefit
recording for pediatric AIDS in the Bay Area. Vroman is a George London
Competition Grant winner, and the 1999 Minerva award recipient from the
Potsdam State University Alumni Association, New York. On separate
occasions this year, Vroman had the honor of singing for Great Britain's
Queen Elizabeth, President Clinton, and Vice President Gore. This summer,
Vroman will tour as featured soloist with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops
Orchestra. She has recently released her first solo CD Broadway Classic,
which features 47 of San Francisco's finest symphony players.
"Lisa Vroman sang Christine in our production of The Phantom of the
Opera for a record-breaking run in San Francisco. I don't believe
anyone has ever sung the role better than she. In fact, few ladies singing
today possess the exquisite voice, clarity and range of Lisa Vroman. Add to
that, she's an excellent and honest actress. This CD is a treasure." -
