Also known as: AnnaVivette
Anna Vivette is a visual artist and lyric coloratura Soprano from Chicago, Ill who currently resides in Scottsdale Arizona. During Anna's childhood she never became exposed to any other genre of music except classical music until she left her home school environment. This was due to her Father's deep passion for classical music. But as soon as she became aware of other music styles she immersed herself in them. Since the age of five she has played the violin. She toured Germany, Belgium, and France, with her high school orchestra, which helped her graduate into what was to become seven years of intensive vocal studies under acclaimed opera singer, and vocal teacher Ruth Dubinbaum. The first two years of her vocal studies included coaching six days a week. Anna continues her regimented vocal studies with Ruth Dubinbaum several days a week. This dedication to her voice and her craft has paved the way to a number of exciting performances. Anna has performed for world-renowned artist's Dale Chihuly, Arthur Secunda, and for Paolo Soleri at the inauguration of the Soleri Bridge in Scottsdale Arizona and for Amangiri Resort in Utah. She has had the pleasure to work with the music publishing company Wild Whirled Music for four years, and with platinum songwriter Gardner Cole. It should also be mentioned that she is an accomplished visual artist. This is partially due to her father Stephen Condren who is an accomplished visual artist and graduate the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Currently she is creating her artwork with Master Printmaker and Artist Shahrokh Rezvani at the Rezvani workshop and Studio where Artists such as Dale Chihuly, Fritz Scholder, Paul Jenkins, James Havard, Robert McCall, Gustavo Ramos Rivera, Arthur Secunda, and Lamar Briggs, had maintained a long term working relation. The mediums she currently works are mixed media monotype, oil, acrylic and pencil. Anna was also scheduled for a solo exhibition of her work titled "Luminaries" at the West Valley Art Museum from August 13th to October 3rd, 2010. The exhibition did not materialize due to the museum's financial problems causing the permanent closure of the museum. Her works are included in many collections among them the Dodge Theatre, Billi Jo and Judd Herberger and others. Anna's live repertoire is operatic arias. She is currently in the studio with Jeff Freundlich and Andy Gerold. Together they are co-writing an album that is a juxtaposition of operatic vocals and electronica.
