Lauri Krämer Serafin has been an opera fan since seeing the movie, Amadeus, in 1984. Even though much of the movie is largely fictional, it sparked a love of grand opera and the joy of Mozart. She was soon attending Seattle Opera on a regular basis and became a season ticket holder. Her tour of the great opera houses of the world was interrupted by a family addition and a career. Lauri and her husband have resumed their tour in Astoria! She is committed to facilitating chamber opera in the North Coast region since first seeing CCO in 2018. Other interests include German operetta, historic preservation, genealogy, music of the 20’s and 30’s, and antique collecting. She is currently restoring Astoria’s Forsstrom House to 1914 Edwardian splendor and hopes to host small events and fundraisers in the Music Room. Lauri currently serves as Secretary of CCO.
