COMPOSERS & THE VOICE: FIRST GLIMPSE
Five emerging composers – Sidney Marquez Boquiren, Mikael Karlsson, Robert Paterson, Rachel Peters, and Ronnie Reshef – and one composer/librettist team, Zach Redler and Sara Cooper, present the first public performances of music they have created during AOP's latest season of Composers & the Voice. The seven artists were chosen by AOP to spend a year creating new works focusing on the operatic voice under the guidance of C&V Artistic Director Steven Osgood.
Performing the selections will be the AOP Resident Ensemble of Singers for the 11-12 season: sopranos Andrea Arias Martin (Chautauqua Opera) and Amy Shoremount-Obra (Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera), mezzo Rebecca Ringle (Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera, Washington National Opera), tenor Brandon Snook (Cincinnati Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Sarasota Opera), baritone Jorell Williams (New York City Center Encores!, Caramoor International Music Festival, Ravinia Festival), and bass Justin Hopkins (Fort Worth Opera, Opera Company of Philadelphia). MEET THE 2012 C&V ARTISTS
Supporting on piano will be Composers & the Voice Music Directors Jeanne-Minette Cilliers, Mila Henry and Kelly Horsted.
Composers & the Voice is made possible in part by a generous multi-year award from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Fellows in the C&V program are supported by funding from The New York Community Trust Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund and Musical Arts Fund.
