About Us
Fluidity, a Creative Choral Community for a Cause, will hold event-concerts to raise funds to benefit partner non-profit organizations. We think of ourselves as creative doers supporting the needs in our community. Joining an event with a themed concert is a unique and meaningful way to pay it forward, while making a real difference.
​
Fluidity believes in equality; we seek to be fluid in song, genres, voicing, gender, age, sexual orientation, race, ethnicities, and all diversities.

Executive Assistant
Elizabeth has been immersed in the music world since the age of 8. Having been an avid clarinetist all through grade school, she went on to obtain two music degrees in the choral world as well as traveling to sing nationally and internationally. She is always finding a way to stay connected to music.
While her passion is in being a choral performer, she loves being on the administrative side of things. In the past year alone, she has had the privilege of working with Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Ballet, and Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, SC.
Regardless of the workspace, Elizabeth is passionate about creating and cultivating inclusivity where all feel welcomed. When not actively working in the music world, she enjoys spending time with friends, modeling, and exploring local Cincinnati hotspots.
