Ms. Cleveland has appeared in concert and as a keynote speaker throughout the United States and in Europe and Canada. Her versatility has allowed her to sing for the U.S. Bishops in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome; for U.S. Senators in Washington, D.C.; with the New Orleans Opera, and in lead roles with Tulane Summer Lyric Theater. She recently traveled to Kibeho, Rwanda, to prepare for her ninth CD, The Rosary of Seven Sorrows, which will be released soon.

 

A native of New Orleans who pursued careers as a lawyer, university instructor and career counselor, Ms. Cleveland’s life as a full-time music missionary began in earnest after launching her first CD in 2000.  She now has eight CDs to her credit, many of which have received Unity Awards (the “Catholic Grammys”).

 

She will be at St. Jude Church singing at mass Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and Sunday at 8 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. There will be a concert on Sunday at 2 p.m.
