The Voice, as Christian singer Sandi Patty is affectionately referred to by her fans, earned her nickname due to her remarkable vocal range. With a tone verging on operatic, she saunters her way up the scale, changing keys effortlessly yet precisely, only to crescendo to a conclusion any soprano would kill for. Over the years, Patty discovered that her vocal range encompasses a remarkable four octavesto put that into perspective, the average vocal range in humans is only about two octaves, at best. She'll put that voice to work on a program of Christmas songs tonight, backed by Milwaukee's top orchestra.
Sandi Patty and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
Tonight @ Riverside Theater, 6:30 p.m.
