Hey Virginia,
I'm in Cleveland too. I'm a vocal performance
major at Baldwin- Wallace. The Christmas Oratorio is
a great place to look. There is a great soprano aria
in there. My friend Alix did it in our recital last
year. It's an Echo Aria..with oboe and another
soprano, if you've got one, but I think you could get
away with just the oboe because it echoes quite a bit
anyway. Best of luck.
