Are you looking for a soloist for Easter service at your church, a picnic, or a recital of classical songs? Vocalist Gudrun Brunot can be hired as a soloist to perform music in a variety of genres, be it Édith Piaf standards, haunting ballads, contemporary hits, or oldies, with recorded accompaniment of her own, as part of an ensemble, or with an accompanist of your choice.

She has also participated regularly in the Methow Valley at events such as "the Fabulous Fall Follies," "Musicians of the Methow," “The Divas of the Methow Valley,” and at the St. Patrick's day celebrations at the Twisp Brew Pub.

Favorite classical genres include madrigals and early renaissance music, and works by composers such as Monteverdi, Händel, Purcell, Schubert, and Schumann. She has sung pop and country hits in restaurants, private homes, community centers, and coffee houses with guitarist Auri Naggar in tunes from shows like "Les misérables", "The Phantom of the Opera", and "The Lion King".
