Ana Gonzales bio

Ana Gonzalez de Jorgenson grew up in Mexico in a family who loved music. Her childhood was spent listening to classical Boleros from the past and classic romantic songs and the Ranchero style. Ana is an avid fan of Tangos. Also, she loves operas, and every form of drama. She was taught by her mother to sing, but she started intensive vocal training by Flavio Belcerra, who was 16 at the time when he was a renowned Mexican opera Tenor. She continued her musical training at the School of Music of Guadalajara University, and then the School of Sacred Music, Toluca. The beginning of her professional career included performances with a variety of chamber ensembles and opera choruses in Guadalajara. She sang with the Fort Lauderdale Symphony Chorus in the United States before moving to southern California. She sings as a soloist Latin American music for private functions and as a member Ensemble XXI in Redlands. Passion and enthusiasm in music, art and performing keep her engaged with many local organizations as a teacher and performer. Ana is a previous part of the Community Chorus of Redlands (as being a member of the Inland Master Chorale) and Performance Loft. Ana appreciates having the chance to share her love and enthusiasm for old-fashioned Latin American songs with others, and in doing so hopes to inspire a passion, especially among younger generations, to help keep the music alive and alive.Viva Mexico!
