Ciao, I'm Maria!
I'm an Italian-American soprano based in Kansas City, where I share my love of music as a singer, performer, music director, campus minister, and educator.
​
I've had the joy of singing operatic roles on many stages and collaborating with various ensembles. Beyond the stage, I direct choirs and musical theatre groups of all ages and with extensive experience and knowledge of the Catholic liturgy, I've sang and prepared for countless weddings, celebrations of life, services, and Masses in both the Catholic Church and various faith traditions — work I approach with deep care for both the artistry and the people creating it.
​
Rooted in music, faith, and culture, I believe in the power of song to bring people together in meaningful ways.
Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale event, I would be honored to help make your occasion unforgettable through the beauty of music!

Jerry Viviano, Entertainment Director for Kansas City Italian Festival
“Maria has brought her beautiful soprano voice to the Kansas City Italian Festival since 2016. She performs Italian arias and classics to perfection. She plans and cantors the annual outdoor Catholic Mass at Festa Italiana as well, making her a great fit for weddings and events. She is a real pleasure to work with.”

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Maria sing at our wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough. Her voice is absolutely stunning — powerful, graceful, and full of emotion. She sang "Ave Maria" during our Catholic ceremony, and it was one of the most moving moments of the entire day. So many of our guests came up to us afterward just to compliment her performance. It truly left an impression on everyone."
Maureen S., Mother of the Bride
"Maria is one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. We were so fortunate that she was able to sing at our daughter’s wedding ceremony.Whether she is singing a traditional hymnal or a more modern song every performance is uplifting, full of emotion, very polished and unique. If you are in need of a beautiful voice to enhance your wedding or for any other occasion, you would be delighted with Maria as she would be a magnificent choice."
Katelyn W., Bride
"Maria's talent makes each song she sings sound effortless. Her ability to sing is truly a God-given gift I could only dream of obtaining. Maria’s voice, vocal range, and experience singing in theater, musicals, church choirs, ensembles, even teaching, is very prized and nothing short of extraordinary. I was lucky enough to be blessed with Maria's singing at my own wedding ceremony. A special, personal performance I will never forget; deeply heartfelt and luminous."
