Having performed onstage since the age of 8, Patrice classically trained as a coloratura soprano for 14 years. She has extensive experience performing on stage and at weddings, corporate events, restaurants and retirement homes.

Her rich, three octave voice provides poetic justice for the beautiful strains you will hear in her show, “Musical Memories”, ranging from classical and jazz favorites to familiar Broadway tunes and contemporary pieces during which songs she utilizes her soprano, mezzo and alto voices.

From the sultry strains of classic jazz to the pop music of the 60’s and 70’s, Patrice impresses audiences with her rich, melodic voice and vivacious personality. Patrice’s first public exposure singing professionally was performing with Les Paul and his band at a very young age.

A featured soloist with the Paul Frankenfield Band, she has performed in professional theatre, as a member of the a cappella group, Synergy, and with several jazz and wedding bands. Typically performing with a Swing Band of six musicians, Patrice can also provide her own musical accompaniment on the keyboard for smaller functions.

Ms. Kaluza has held the position of Director of Music for several churches and has been dedicated to music ministry for 30 years. Capable of singing most styles of music, “Ms. Patrice” as her students fondly refer to her, taught voice, chorus, keyboards, guitar and ALL of the orchestral instruments for more than 25 years.

Ms. Kaluza is comfortable singing a cappella, accompanying herself, and as a soloist backed by a band or an orchestra. She often performs with local Rock and Swing Bands, including Lady & The Tramps, but she can also provide her own musical accompaniment on the keyboard for smaller functions.
