BETSY BENNETT SMITH – Betsy has sung for most of her life. As number seven of eight children, she, like all her siblings, was encouraged to pursue the arts, either by singing, playing piano or acting. At Southwest Texas State University, Betsy sang in several operas and musicals. She played Mrs. Trapes in The Threepenny Opera, was the Narrator for Sweet Betsy From Pike and played Katisha in The Mikado. Betsy sang for many years with both the Austin Lyric and the Fort Worth Opera Companies in Texas. In California, she worked with Golden Gate Opera in the production of Carmen. She was chosen among hundreds of contestants to sing The National Anthem at a San Francisco 49ers game. She most recently worked in the Morris Brobow productions of Megabytes the Musical and Are We Almost There? -The Travel Musical. She is currently a choral section leader at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Ross, CA.
PAUL DASILVA – Paul DaSilva is freelance pianist, organist and educator. He is a versatile musician comfortable in genres from Bach to Rock. He is a full scholarship recipient from the Mannes College of Music in New York City and currently teaches theory and piano at Cerritos College. Outside of music, Paul is involved with bird clubs and exhibits exotic birds each year at the county fair. He is also a senior instructor of yoga and has a great love for the outdoors. So far, Paul has visited twenty two National Parks…. “It is my sincere wish and a joy to share music with you.”
