Ms. Coffman has been honored to perform several times with PSO: twice as part of the cast of Amahl and the Night Visitors and in the productions of Madama Butterfly and Pagliacci, and Carmen. Jennifer is also honored to be a member of both Canterbury Voices and Canterbury Chamber Voices, both under the direction of Randi Von Ellefson.

A heartfelt thank you to Randi, Pam & the entire staff of Canterbury Voices for this opportunity! I am deeply grateful for every moment spent in rehearsal and performance with Canterbury over the past 4 seasons. Thank you for bringing exceptional choral music to Oklahoma City!
