About the Artists
Natalie Brooke
Soprano and guitarist Natalie Brooke performs regularly as a soloist, ensemble member, chorus member, and actor. She is a member of the North Carolina Opera Chorus and a ten-year veteran cast member of White Iris Productions. Additionally she has worked both onstage and off with Orange Community Players, Burning Coal Theatre, Paperhand Puppet Project, Meredith College Theatre, and the Walt Disney Company.
When she is not performing, you may find Natalie running a successful college music department and she is also an accomplished graphic designer (just look at this website!). In her spare time, you will not find Natalie, because she is a cryptid of the woods where she commands an army of moths.
