Christopher Rogers

I have accumulated approximately 5 years worth of performance experience within the University of Evansville’s music program. I have performed - with voice as my primary instrument - both individually and in various ensembles. I have studied voice under the instruction of Dr. Eric McCluskey for 9 semesters in which during that time I’ve learned and performed many classical, operetic, and musical theatre-styled pieces in languages such as French, German, Italian, Spanish, and English. I have also taken part in my university’s opera series and have been casted in 6 different productions. These experiences have led me to apply for a position such as this, in hopes to expand my interest and knowledge in a more professional setting.

I am a detail-orientated professional with the ability to multitask, work collaboratively, and put my best foot forward to ensure successful results. I am able to learn quickly, and follow direction while maintaining a creative and positive work environment for all.



I look forward to speaking with you and thank you for your consideration,


Christopher Rogers
