PERFORMER DETAILS

David Miotke 

Pianist/Accordionist DAVID MIOTKE, After singing and playing piano as music director at 

Max s Opera Cafe in San Francisco for five years, ending in October, 2002, David is currently freelancing, 

performing solo and with groups in styles as varied as jazz, cabaret, tango, Italian, strolling strings and classical. 

He specializes in performing the standard American songbook repertoire such as Cole Porter, Gershwin, 

Rodgers & Hart, etc.

He recently released a new CD of original songs set to the poetry of Francis Brabazon entitled, In Dust I Sing. 

While he takes his inspiration from many sources and is always trying to grow spiritually as well as musically, he 

is most often compared to Bobby Short, Michael Feinstein, Mel Torme and Tony Bennett. Never having tried to 

sound like anyone but himself, he considers these comparisons to be the highest of compliments. David studied 

at Northwestern University and earned a bachelor s degree in music theory and composition and a master s 

degree in applied piano. He graduated with honors and proceeded to be successful at singing, playing and 

arranging countless national radio and television commercials. While still an undergraduate at Northwestern 

University, he took time off to tour as co-lead singer and keyboardist with the well-known folk-rock group, 

H. P. Lovecraft, recording two highly successful record albums.

Soprano Jennifer Muhawi

 Hailed by San Francisco Chronicle for her "charming" presence, Jennifer Muhawi has been performing in the 

San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade, at local and regional opera companies as well as popular downtown 

venues in Union Square and North Beach. She is known for her unique vocal tone and versatility.

Jennifer has appeared in numerous operas, including Carmen, La Traviata, The Marriage of Figaro, the world premier

 of No Exit, L’Italiana in Algiers, The Merry Widow, Don Giovanni, Faust and others. Near the end of 2009, Jennifer 

founded City Opera SF to offer her local audience more mainstream pop-opera performances. With this group, 

she has appeared at the de Young museum, the Legion of Honor, the North Beach Festival, the Union Street Festival, 

Amante in North Beach, Cafe de la Presse in Union Square, and other venues that fit with a casual, cabaret-like 

performance style. During a recent six month run at the Villa Florence Hotel in Union Square, Jennifer met the 

very talented jazz pianist, Douglas McKeehan. She is currently working on a crossover album Ciel de Paris with Doug,

 due to release in December. Please visit jennifermuhawi.com for more information regarding the upcoming release.

Tenor Jose Hernandez

With over two dozen roles in his repertoire of characters, José Hernández has captivated audiences and critics alike 

being recognized for his fine tenor voice which in performance is marvelously enhanced by the dimension and wit 

with which each character is portrayed. He has appeared in performance with Houston Grand Opera, Houston Symphony,

 New Orleans Opera, Utah Festival Opera, Berkeley Opera, Ars Lyrica Houston, Bay Area Classical Harmonies, 

Stockton Opera, Festival Opera (Walnut Creek, CA) and Pocket Opera. Mr. Hernández is a District Winner and Regional
