Dr. Kellam, who considers current voice teacher, Sondra Gelb, a key influence, described her involvement in the opera production as “pure joy; no strings attached. It's something I do for me, and there's camaraderie, a team spirit. There's a creative spirit and, of course, the magic of music, and I don't have to worry about hurting anybody.”
Roles have varied over the years and have included Carrie Pipperidge in “Carousel,” Snoopy in “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” and the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz.”
