      <image:caption>Victoria Bond - Composer A major force in 21st century music, composer Victoria Bond is known for her melodic gift and dramatic flair. Her works for orchestra, chamber ensemble and opera have been lauded by the New York Times as "powerful, stylistically varied and technically demanding." In addition to Soul of a Nation, the four presidential portraits on the Albany label, highlights of Ms. Bond’s catalogue include the operas Mrs. President, Clara and The Miracle of Light; ballets Equinox and Other Selves; orchestral works Thinking like a Mountain, Bridges and Urban Bird; and chamber works Dreams of Flying, Frescoes and Ash and Instruments of Revelation, among many others. Her compositions have been performed by the New York City Opera, Shanghai, Dallas and Houston Symphonies, members of the Chicago Symphony and New York Philharmonic, American Ballet Theater and the Cassatt and Audubon Quartets. The New York Times praised Victoria Bond’s conducting as “full of energy and fervor.” She has served as principal guest conductor of Chamber Opera Chicago since 2005. Prior positions include Assistant Conductor of Pittsburgh Symphony and New York City Opera and Music Director of the Roanoke Symphony and Opera, Bel Canto Opera and Harrisburg Opera. Ms. Bond has guest conducted throughout the United States, Europe, South America and Asia. She is the first woman awarded a doctorate in orchestral conducting from the Juilliard School. Ms. Bond is Artistic Director of Cutting Edge Concerts New Music Festival in New York, which she founded in 1998, and is a frequent lecturer at the Metropolitan Opera and has lectured for the New York Philharmonic. The Wall Street Journal, NBC’s Today Show, the New York Times and other national publications have profiled Ms. Bond.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Doug Fitch - Design, Direction Visual artist, designer, and director Doug Fitch recent AOP projects include the World Premiere of Daniel Thomas Davis’s opera Six. Twenty. Outrageous at Symphony Space. He created several productions with the New York Philharmonic, including Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre; Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen; A Dancer’s Dream: Two Works by Stravinsky; and HK Gruber’s Gloria – A Pig Tale. The Philharmonic later performed Petrushka, one-half of A Dancer’s Dream, on tour at London’s Barbican Centre. Next year Le Grand Macabre will be remounted at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany. Mr. Fitch has also created productions for Los Angeles Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Santa Fe Opera, and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and for Bard’s SummerScape Festival. His Tanglewood production of Elliott Carter’s What Next? was filmed and later screened at the Museum of Modern Art. Doug Fitch directed and designed the original version of Matthew Aucoin’s Orphic Moments at National Sawdust, a production that was remounted at the Salzburg Landestheater. He designed a third version for Master Voices at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater. At National Sawdust he performed a live-animated version of Musorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition with Alessio Bax, later remounted with Inon Barnatan at Town Hall. His cabaret, Doug Fitch’s Art Gallery Variety Show, has appeared at National Sawdust and Maison Francaise at Columbia University. Mr. Fitch is a co-founder of Giants Are Small, which, in co-production with Universal Music and Deutsche Grammophon, developed Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood — an iPad app, CD, and digital album featuring Alice Cooper as narrator and the German National Youth Orchestra. In May 2017 a live version was performed by the National Symphony Orchestra with Mr. Fitch as narrator.</image:caption>

Weiser is now the Director of Public Programs at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research where he curates and produces programs that combine a fascination with and curiosity for historical context, with an eye toward influential Jewish contributions to the culture of today and tomorrow.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Matthew Schickele writes music and words. Comfortable across genres, Schickele has written chamber music, vocal music, songs, and electronic music for ensembles, bands, and the stage. His chamber music has been performed at venues across the USA and internationally. He was the principal composer for the recent sold-out run of Hai-Ting Chinn’s Science Fair, an opera with experiments in NYC, which Time Out called "Pure, effervescent pleasure." Schickele’s chamber opera Marymere has had concert productions in both Wyoming and New York, and The New York Times called Since 1500, a quartet for unaccompanied sopranos, "a harmonically rich, polyphonic web." His latest recording, Ten Rings of Saturn, along with numerous collections of songs, are available via Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, and many others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Precipice - Rima Fand - Music</image:title>
      <image:caption>RIMA FAND (composer) is a Brooklyn-based composer, musician and vocalist with a passion for multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration. Rima is an inventor and devoted to that which is innovative, but is also strongly drawn to old traditions. She creates on an edge where the traditional meets the experimental.

      <image:caption>KAREN FISHER (librettist) has spent her life exploring the cultural, physical, economic, intellectual and emotional edges of the American west. On both sides the descendant of pioneers, she graduated from UCSB in History, B.A. cum laude. In 1990 she and her husband left secure teaching jobs to take up farming on a remote homestead in Idaho, and in 1998 they moved to a small island off the coast of Washington where they cleared forest, built a house, and sailed the northern coasts. \ During her years as a mother, arborist, horse trainer, and builder, she wrote her first novel. A Sudden Country (Random House, 2005) earned high praise and awards (PEN/Faulkner finalist, Washington State Book Award, MPBA best novel, VCU and Sherwood Anderson awards for debut fiction), and launched her career as a novelist (NEA recipient 2012) and writing instructor (privately and for Fishtrap). During these same years, Karen also sang and performed with a vocal and world music ensemble. Mamatamba performed frequently at Zimfest and locally, and in following years, the music and writing informed and inspired each other. After her husband’s sudden death in 2009 and the collapse of her novel in progress in 2013, she bought a piano and taught herself to play. Music and writing together lit the way through this new deep gestation, and encouraged her in her efforts to complete ongoing projects, raise her children, and find a language adequate to her new experience. She’s now teaching from her island home (coaching novel and memoir writers), singing, playing, writing (poetry, memoir, and fiction), and enjoying the process of moving her many creative endeavors forward through the ever-shifting fields of time, inspiration, and collaboration. A memoir, In Reality, and a libretto for Precipice top the list. Photo by Sea G. Rhydr http://asuddencountry.com/index.html</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Phil Kline (music/lyrics) A veteran of New York’s downtown scene, Phil Kline stands out for his range and unpredictability. From vast boombox symphonies to chamber music and song cycles, his work has been hailed for its originality, beauty, subversive subtext, and wry humor. Early in his career he cofounded the rock band the Del-Byzanteens with Jim Jarmusch and James Nares, collaborated with Nan Goldin on the soundtrack to The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, and played guitar in the notorious Glenn Branca Ensemble. Some of his early work evolved from performance art and used large numbers of boomboxes, such as the outdoor Christmas cult classic Unsilent Night, which is now an annual holiday tradition celebrated around the world. Other notable works include Exquisite Corpses, written for the Bang on a Can All-Stars; the politically-infused Zippo Songs and Rumsfeld Songs; John the Revelator, a setting of the Latin Mass written for early music specialists Lionheart; and the Sinatra-inspired song cycle Out Cold, written for Theo Bleckmann and premiered at BAM’s Next Wave Festival. Phil hosts a daily radio show on WQXR/Q2 in NYC and is currently collaborating with filmmaker Jim Jarmusch on a music theater spectacle about Nikola Tesla. His music is available on the Cantaloupe, Starkland, and CRI record labels.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>THEO BLECKMANN GRAMMY® nominated jazz singer and new music composer Theo Bleckmann’s diverse recorded work includes albums of Las Vegas standards, Weimar art songs, and popular “bar songs” (all with pianist Fumio Yasuda); a recording of newly-arranged songs by Charles Ives (with jazz/rock collective Kneebody); and his acclaimed "Hello Earth - the Music of Kate Bush." Bleckmann has most recently appeared as a special guest on recordings by Ambrose Akinmusire for Blue Note Records and Julia Hülsmann’s trio for ECM Records. In January 2017, ECM will release Bleckmann’s recording with his new Elegy Quintet, produced by legendary label head and founder, Manfred Eicher. Bleckmann has collaborated with musicians, artists, actors and composers, including Ambrose Akinmusire, Laurie Anderson, Uri Caine, Philip Glass, Ann Hamilton, John Hollenbeck, Sheila Jordan, Phil Kline, David Lang, Kirk Nurock, Frances MacDormand, Ben Monder, Michael Tilson Thomas, Kenny Wheeler, John Zorn, the Bang on a Can All-Stars, and, most prominently, Meredith Monk, with whom Bleckmann worked as a core ensemble member for over fifteen years. He has been interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air and appeared on the David Letterman show with Laurie Anderson. In 2015, Bleckmann premiered a new work for the American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and in 2016 he brings new work to the New York Philharmonic Biennial and the LA Philharmonic. Bleckmann has consistently appeared in the top-five spots in the DownBeat Critics’ Polls for Best Male Vocalist, and top-ten spots in their Readers’ Polls, and his work on Phil Kline’s “Out Cold” helped place that production on WQXR's Operavore "Best Opera of 2012". In 2010, Bleckmann received the prestigious JAZZ ECHO award from the Deutsche Phono-Akademie in his native Germany.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>PAUL AN - BASS Critically acclaimed bass singer Paul An is described by The Examiner: "Mr. An internalized the poems (Hugo Wolf's Michelangelo Lieder) beautifully and sincerely, and expressed them eloquently and with conviction. His deep, warm sound was perfectly sustained in even the quietest utterances, while the full force of his voice was revealed in the impassioned outbursts that punctuate a cycle that dwells on mortality, the passage of time, and loss." Mr. An has performed for audiences totaling over 500,000 all across the United States. He has also performed solos with the London Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra, the Naples Philharmonic, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Ravinia Festival Orchestra, and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra working with such notable conductors as Alan Gilbert, Sir Simon Rattle, Julius Rudel, Ricardo Muti, James Conlon, Eric Kunzel, and Marvin Hamlisch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>JUSTINE ARONSON - SOPRANO Hailed by The New York Times as possessing "a deep reservoir of expressive devices", soprano Justine Aronson’s interpretations have consistently captured the attention of those producing new music, earning her premieres with composers including David Lang, Christopher Cerrone, Daron Hagen and Ted Hearne. Over the last eighteen months, Justine has spent a lot of time contemplating her relationship with art and how it functions in this burgeoning mid-to-post pandemic culture. She watched the flowers bloom through cracks in the sidewalks, and had the great fortune of being engaged to perform digitally and record with numerous organizations. In the Beforetimes, though this seems difficult to remember, performances included the Los Angeles Philharmonic, On Site Opera (New York, NY), The American Opera Project, Five Boroughs Music Festival (New York, NY), The Industry (Los Angeles), Eighth Blackbird, Mirror Visions Ensemble, Brooklyn Art Song Society, among others. Recent workshops include the roles of gene and actress for Iphigenia, created by Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding, and the role of The Assistant for David Lang’s prisoner of the state with the New York Philharmonic.   Previous season highlights include appearances with the LA Phil’s Green Umbrella series, National Sawdust, Beth Morrison Projects, Opera Philadelphia, Lucerne Festival Academy, Bang on a Can Summer Festival, The Bard Music Festival, The String Orchestra of Brooklyn, and the Metropolitan Opera Guild. Justine can be heard on the NAXOS label as part of Daron Hagen’s portrait album, 21st Century Song Cycles, with the Lyric Fest of Philadelphia. www.justinearonson.com</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Matt Gray was named General Director of AOP in 2019, assuming leadership of an organization with over thirty years of history creating and defining new American opera theatre. He began at American Opera Projects in 2003 and was promoted from Office Manager to Program Manager to Producing Director, a position he held for the past ten years during a robust time for the organization and for contemporary opera in the United States. Matt Gray has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Directing from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He spent several years in New York City working in both indie film and theatre before joining AOP – having never seen an opera. He quickly relied on his background in film and theatre to develop AOP projects from the point of view of an audience member unfamiliar with opera, but well-versed in popular entertainment and modern storytelling, and continues to lead AOP with the goal of creating works for the stage that welcome new and adventurous audiences. Operas directed include As One (AOP/New York City Opera, 2019; Columbus Opera, 2019; Chautauqua Opera, 2018; International Opera Projects in Berlin, 2016), Darkling (Center City Opera Theater, 2008), and opera workshops at AOP including AbSynth (Galapagos Art Space), Ga Sho (Numinous City) (Rubin Museum of Art), and Semmelweis (New York Academy of Medicine). In addition, he has directed concerts, cabarets, and plays around NYC, including Marianna Martines: A Legacy of Her Own (Sheen Center) and Bohemian Valentine (New York Fringe Festival). He is the co-writer and co-director of the 12-part serialized play Penny Dreadful which ran at the Brick Theater in Brooklyn for two years and the one-act play Stand Clear (2004, Teatro LATEA). He was also one of five directors on the award-winning indie horror anthology film The Moose Head Over the Mantel (2017).</image:caption>

Alexa is a crafter and caster of songspells, which they define as intentions holding space for dream possibilities that manifest transformation through the process of deep listening. Using music as a tool of transformative self-care, they cast songspells with their voice, a collection of toy instruments to rival a playpen, pre-programmed electronic sequences, live electronic processing, and live coding. Composed to uphold folx through personal challenges, Alexa’s musical readings with their self-published Sacrosanct Oracle//Composition Deck offer space to assess, access, cultivate, claim, and share resources as we forge our own paths forward. Noted as "an example of pure charm and whimsy” by The New York Times and "unarguably personifying DIY for the millennium" by Creative Loafing Atlanta, Alexa Dexa is best known for their “electrifying and lyrically brutal” toychestral electronic pop solo project which offers agency in femme voices where deference is expected. Their operatic works include “Bewitch Yourself”, a virtual and interactive electroacoustic toy opera for resourcing ourselves and sharing our resources, and “Be a Doll”, an electroacoustic toy opera exploring how toys shape gender identity and affect mental health for which Alexa received a 2018 Discovery Grant as part of OPERA America’s Opera Grants for Female Composers program. Pre-pandemic Alexa spent 4-6 months out of the year touring the world with their toy piano, pitched desk bells, and a strong do-it-yourself ethos. Their 14 previous self-booked tours have taken them throughout North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia.</image:caption>

She also serves as Managing Director of MusicIC, a music and literature festival presented by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature. Prior to joining AOP, Ms. Brus enjoyed a career as a soprano specializing in contemporary music both as a soloist and as part of the chamber group, sTem. In collaboration with sTem, Ms. Brus premiered over two dozen works by living composers from around the world, presented masterclasses at universities and colleges in the US and Mexico, and recorded the full-length album, Lieder|Canciones. In 2015, sTem presented a Northeastern US tour of their commissioned transcription and original English translation of Schoenberg’s monodrama Erwartung. Ms. Brus' solo singing career included performances in the United States as well as Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Asia. Ms. Brus was the soprano soloist in a myriad of musical styles, performing in operas ranging from Alessandro Scarlatti’s Venere, Amore e Ragione (Bourbon Baroque), Bizet's Carmen (Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre), to the world premiere of Carson Kievman's Fairy Tales: Songs of the Dandelion Woman (SoBe Arts), which prompted Lawrence Budman of the Miami Herald to write, "In the title role, Meagan Brus dominates the stage with a frightening emotional intensity. Her brilliant flights of coloratura dazzle the ear but the strength of her middle voice evokes the woman's pathos and helplessness. A vocal and dramatic tour de force, her performance is a singular triumph." On the concert stage, Ms. Brus celebrated a variety of styles from Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire and Erwartung, to a classical arrangement of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. As a vocalist and instrumentalist, Ms. Brus can be heard on the albums Lieder|Canciones (sTem), This May Not Work and Everyone Went Home Alone (Another Dead Clown), Opera Cowgirls: Always Unplugged (Opera Cowgirls), and the soundtracks for Halo: Spartan Strike / The Fall of Reach / Spartan Assault, Galactic Reign,Tom Clancy’s: Ghost Recon Future Soldier and H.A.W.X. 2.

      <image:caption>Librettist and filmmaker Kimberly Reed was commissioned by a consortium of opera companies led by Santa Fe Opera to write Hometown to the World, along with composer Laura Kaminsky. With Mark Campbell she co-wrote the libretti for Today It Rains (Opera Parallèle, 2019), Some Light Emerges (Houston Grand Opera, 2017), and As One (the American Opera Project, 2014), which is the most frequently produced new opera in North America, according to Opera America magazine.

Her nonfiction writing was published in “The Moth,” a New York Times best-seller. Kim’s documentary film Prodigal Sons won 14 awards and was released in theaters and broadcast worldwide, and her Sundance award-winning 2018 documentary Dark Money was promptly named by Vogue magazine as one of the 66 Best Documentaries of All Time and shortlisted for the Academy Awards. She is a fellow of Yaddo and New York Foundation for the Arts.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Baritone Rahzé Cheatham is praised as a “wonderfully sensitive” performer with “crystalline diction” and a strong foundation in music, theatre art, and dance applications. An emerging new music artist in both concert and operatic repertoire, notable roles include Hannah before (As One), Brennan (Mallory) Blues Soloist/Street Singer (MASS), Betto di Signa (Gianni Schicchi), L’Aubergiste (Chérubin), Bob (Old Maid and the Thief), and Bernardo (Westside Story). They have been featured in numerous projects, including opera scenes, performing as: Sam, Trouble in Tahiti; Dr. Pangloss, Candide; and Figaro, Le nozze di Figaro. For five years, Rahzé served as a Section Leader and soloist for the Sanctuary Choir of First and Franklin Presbyterian Church. Armed with the perspective of the intersec­tion of mis- and underrepresented communities, Rahzé seeks to break through an otherwise homogenous music scene. In addition to performing original works, Rahzé enjoys learning and performing works from 1900-forward, by little-known and unknown composers and poets, especially artists of color and LBGTQ-identified artists. While hosting a private voice studio of beginner, intermediate, and advanced students across multiple genres, they currently main­tain teaching positions at the Baltimore School for the Arts and the Baltimore School of Music. Rahzé holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and a Minor in Music Theory from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University where they studied with American baritone William Sharp.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Possessing “an ear for the new and interesting” (The New York Times), Laura Kaminsky frequently addresses critical social and political issues in her work with music that is "full of fire as well as ice, contrasting dissonance and violence with tonal beauty and meditative reflection. It is strong stuff.” (American Record Guide). Her first opera, As One, (2014; co-librettists Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed) is the most produced contemporary opera in North America, with 50+ productions to date in the U.S., Europe, Canada, South America and Australia. The As One team has since been commissioned twice—by Houston Grand Opera for Some Light Emerges (2017) and Opera Parallèle/American Opera Projects for Today It Rains (2019). Hometown to the World (libretto: Reed; Santa Fe Opera) premiered in 2021, Finding Wright in 2022 (libretto: Andrea Fellows Fineberg; Dayton Opera). She is co-librettist (with novelist Lisa Moore) and composer for February, commissioned by Newfoundland’s Opera on the Avalon for 2023. Awarded the 2016 Polish Gold Cross of Merit (Zloty Krzyż Zasługi RP) by the President of Poland for exemplary public service or humanitarian work, Kaminsky has also been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts, Koussevitzky Music Foundation, Opera America, Chamber Music America, USArtists International, CEC ArtsLink International Partnerships, Likhachev-Russkiy Mir Foundation Cultural Fellowship, and has received six ASCAP-Chamber Music America Awards for Adventuresome Programming, and a citation from the Office of the President of the Borough of Manhattan. Head of composition at Purchase College Conservatory of Music, she leads The American Opera Project's Artistic Advisory Council and sits on the boards of Opera America and the Hermitage Artist Retreat. Her music is recorded on the Affeto, Albany, Bridge, BSS, Cedille, CRI, Capstone, Mode, MSR, and Navona labels and is published by Bill Holab Music.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2021 Lucas Bouk made his baritone debut with On Site Opera, and joined the ensemble of New Amsterdam Opera’s I Vespri Siciliani and Opera Theater of CT’s Barber of Seville. This April he sings Masetto in Camerata Bardi Vocal Academy’s Don Giovanni and in May creates new roles with the NYU/Tisch Opera Lab and AOP. Prior to the pandemic, Lucas used his “silky mezzo” (New York Times) to perform roles ranging from Lucretia to Carmen to Komponist to Cherubino. In the 2019 season he made his Lincoln Center debut with New York City Opera as Sarah in the World Premiere of Stonewall and performed Hannah-after in As One with Alamo City Opera and again at Alchemical Studios in NYC. During the COVID pandemic Lucas decided to begin his physical and vocal transition with testosterone and has been retraining with Katherine Ciesinski and Michael Chioldi. www.lucasbouk.com</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Librettist and filmmaker Kimberly Reed was commissioned by a consortium of opera companies led by Santa Fe Opera to write Hometown to the World, along with composer Laura Kaminsky. With Mark Campbell she co-wrote the libretti for Today It Rains (Opera Parallèle, 2019), Some Light Emerges (Houston Grand Opera, 2017), and As One (the American Opera Project, 2014), which is the most frequently produced new opera in North America, according to Opera America magazine. Her film projections have been called “worthy of Fellini or Bergman” (SF Classical Voice). Ms. Reed’ s song cycle Fierce Grace: Jeannette Rankin premiered at the U.S. Library of Congress in 2017. Her nonfiction writing was published in “The Moth,” a New York Times best-seller. Kim’s documentary film Prodigal Sons won 14 awards and was released in theaters and broadcast worldwide, and her Sundance award-winning 2018 documentary Dark Money was promptly named by Vogue magazine as one of the 66 Best Documentaries of All Time and shortlisted for the Academy Awards. She is a fellow of Yaddo and New York Foundation for the Arts.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Baritone Rahzé Cheatham is praised as a “wonderfully sensitive” performer with “crystalline diction” and a strong foundation in music, theatre art, and dance applications. An emerging new music artist in both concert and operatic repertoire, notable roles include Hannah before (As One), Brennan (Mallory) Blues Soloist/Street Singer (MASS), Betto di Signa (Gianni Schicchi), L’Aubergiste (Chérubin), Bob (Old Maid and the Thief), and Bernardo (Westside Story). They have been featured in numerous projects, including opera scenes, performing as: Sam, Trouble in Tahiti; Dr. Pangloss, Candide; and Figaro, Le nozze di Figaro. For five years, Rahzé served as a Section Leader and soloist for the Sanctuary Choir of First and Franklin Presbyterian Church. Armed with the perspective of the intersec­tion of mis- and underrepresented communities, Rahzé seeks to break through an otherwise homogenous music scene. In addition to performing original works, Rahzé enjoys learning and performing works from 1900-forward, by little-known and unknown composers and poets, especially artists of color and LBGTQ-identified artists. While hosting a private voice studio of beginner, intermediate, and advanced students across multiple genres, they currently main­tain teaching positions at the Baltimore School for the Arts and the Baltimore School of Music. Rahzé holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and a Minor in Music Theory from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University where they studied with American baritone William Sharp.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Possessing “an ear for the new and interesting” (The New York Times), Laura Kaminsky frequently addresses critical social and political issues in her work with music that is "full of fire as well as ice, contrasting dissonance and violence with tonal beauty and meditative reflection. It is strong stuff.” (American Record Guide). Her first opera, As One, (2014; co-librettists Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed) is the most produced contemporary opera in North America, with 50+ productions to date in the U.S., Europe, Canada, South America and Australia. The As One team has since been commissioned twice—by Houston Grand Opera for Some Light Emerges (2017) and Opera Parallèle/American Opera Projects for Today It Rains (2019). Hometown to the World (libretto: Reed; Santa Fe Opera) premiered in 2021, Finding Wright in 2022 (libretto: Andrea Fellows Fineberg; Dayton Opera). She is co-librettist (with novelist Lisa Moore) and composer for February, commissioned by Newfoundland’s Opera on the Avalon for 2023. Awarded the 2016 Polish Gold Cross of Merit (Zloty Krzyż Zasługi RP) by the President of Poland for exemplary public service or humanitarian work, Kaminsky has also been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts, Koussevitzky Music Foundation, Opera America, Chamber Music America, USArtists International, CEC ArtsLink International Partnerships, Likhachev-Russkiy Mir Foundation Cultural Fellowship, and has received six ASCAP-Chamber Music America Awards for Adventuresome Programming, and a citation from the Office of the President of the Borough of Manhattan. Head of composition at Purchase College Conservatory of Music, she leads The American Opera Project's Artistic Advisory Council and sits on the boards of Opera America and the Hermitage Artist Retreat. Her music is recorded on the Affeto, Albany, Bridge, BSS, Cedille, CRI, Capstone, Mode, MSR, and Navona labels and is published by Bill Holab Music.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2021 Lucas Bouk made his baritone debut with On Site Opera, and joined the ensemble of New Amsterdam Opera’s I Vespri Siciliani and Opera Theater of CT’s Barber of Seville. This April he sings Masetto in Camerata Bardi Vocal Academy’s Don Giovanni and in May creates new roles with the NYU/Tisch Opera Lab and AOP. Prior to the pandemic, Lucas used his “silky mezzo” (New York Times) to perform roles ranging from Lucretia to Carmen to Komponist to Cherubino. In the 2019 season he made his Lincoln Center debut with New York City Opera as Sarah in the World Premiere of Stonewall and performed Hannah-after in As One with Alamo City Opera and again at Alchemical Studios in NYC. During the COVID pandemic Lucas decided to begin his physical and vocal transition with testosterone and has been retraining with Katherine Ciesinski and Michael Chioldi. www.lucasbouk.com</image:caption>

With an emphasis on emotional directness and vivid storytelling, Joseph's melodically driven and dramatic work is often inspired by American history, explorations of identity, and the natural world.  His style is particularly informed by the folk-influenced concert music of the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia, and by minimalism, the sacred choral music tradition, electronica, and musical theater. His music has been presented by organizations and individuals including the Seagle Music Festival, Forth Worth Opera, The Manhattan School of Music Opera Theater, Triad: The Boston Choral Collective, American Opera Projects, The Holy Cross Chamber Singers, The Secret Opera, bass-baritone Matthew Burns at the Spoleto Festival USA, C4, and the Young New Yorker’s Chorus.  He has collaborated on new theatrical works and songs with librettists and writers including Mark Campbell, Jason Kim, and Melisa Tien.  Joseph and Jason Kim are the recipients of a 2017 Opera Genesis Grant from American Opera Projects and The Hermitage Artist Colony for developmental work on their opera “House of Legendary”, as well as a 2020 Repertoire Development Grant from Opera America for the same project. Select vocal works by Joseph are published by See-A-Dot and North Star Music, and are recorded on 4Tay Records and Crossover Music.  He is an alumnus of the Pacific Chorale’s Choral Sketches program, New Dramatists’ Composer-Librettist Studio, and American Opera Projects’ Composers &amp; the Voice program.  He studied music at Columbia University (BA) and The Juilliard School (MM).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kemar Jewel is a Black Queer Director and Choreographer from Jamaica, who was raised in Philadelphia. Kemar’s art can be seen in live performances, music videos, and musical theatre. As a member of the Legendary House of Lanvin, Kemar, a Drama League Musical Theatre Directing Fellow, draws inspiration and technique from the Ballroom scene and infuses it with his formal training from Temple University.  He went viral and became an internet sensation in 2014 for his Voguing Train video. His projects have garnered over fourteen million views across various social media platforms and have been featured by TIME, VOGUE, FOX News, and in film festivals around the globe.  Most recently, Kemar’s newest project headlined 2021’s Global Black Pride event where Kemar’s work was presented after the keynote speaker, President Joe Biden. Kemar’s mission is to create art that showcases Black Queer and Trans people, and the communities they exist in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Music as the Message 11.20.22 Program - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Composer and pianist JOHN MUSTO's activities encompass orchestral, operatic, instrumental, chamber and vocal music, and music for film and television. His music embraces many strains of contemporary American concert music, enriched by sophisticated inspirations from jazz, ragtime and the blues. These qualities lend a strong profile to his vocal music, which ranges from a series of operas – Volpone, Later the Same Evening, Bastianello and The Inspector – to a catalogue of art songs that is among the finest of any living American composer. As a pianist, he performs frequently as soloist and chamber musician in a broad range of repertoire including his own piano concerti. He appears frequently with his wife, soprano Amy Burton, in recital and cabaret. Mr. Musto was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his orchestral song cycle Dove Sta Amore, and is a recipient of two Emmy awards, two CINE Awards, a Rockefeller Fellowship at Bellagio, an American Academy of Arts and Letters award, and a Distinguished Alumnus award from the Manhattan School of Music.  He is currently on the piano faculty of the CUNY Graduate Center in New York, where he also serves as Coördinator of the D.M.A. Program in Music Performance. Musto's work has been recorded by Bridge, Harmonia Mundi, Nonesuch, Cedille,  Archive, Naxos, Harbinger, CRI and EMI, Hyperion,  MusicMasters, Innova, Channel Classics, Albany, and New World Records.   He is published by Peermusic Classical.   http://www.johnmusto.com/bio.html</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Lisa Anderson has been a stage manager and production manager for many years in opera, dance and theater.   Lisa’s career has included a long time at San Francisco Opera as a stage manager, PSM, Video editor and associate director.  Other places have included Theater for a New Audience and touring to Naples as well as Assistant Director for Girl of the Golden West in Belgium.   Recent collaborations have included Opera Theater of St. Louis and recently joining the staff at the University of Missouri in Kansas City Conservatory. It feels good coming back after graduating from there-after more years than I care to count.</image:caption>

An upcoming recording of Hemenger’s music by Danrich, with pianist Mila Henry, is expected to be released in early 2023.

Outside of opera, he has continued to work as a writer and director for numerous concerts, cabarets, and plays around NYC.

      <image:title>The Great Dictionary of the Yiddish Language - laura kaminsky</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born and raised in New York City, Alex Weiser creates acutely cosmopolitan music combining a deeply felt historical perspective with a vibrant forward-looking creativity hailed as “personal, expressive, and bold” (I Care If You Listen). Weiser’s debut album and all the days were purple, was named a 2020 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and cited as “a meditative and deeply spiritual work whose unexpected musical language is arresting and directly emotional.” Released by Cantaloupe Music in April 2019, the album includes songs in Yiddish and English. Active as an opera composer, Weiser is currently working on two operas. Tevye’s Daughters, written with librettist Stephanie Fleischmann, is a commission from American Lyric Theater. Based on Sholem Aleichem’s iconic Yiddish stories, it explores the tragic death of Tevye’s lesser-known daughter, Shprintse. The opera also traces the lasting impact of Shprintse’s fate on her sisters who are now elderly and living in New York. The Great Dictionary of the Yiddish Language with librettist Ben Kaplan is set in 1950s post-war New York and follows linguist Yudel Mark as he sets out to write the world’s first fully comprehensive Yiddish dictionary — an effort of linguistic preservation, and a memorial to the dead.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Born in Brooklyn, NY, librettist Ben Kaplan studied literature and theater at Williams College. He currently serves as Director of Education at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, where he directs programs that teach Jewish history and culture to a broad and diverse audience. These programs include the Uriel Weinreich Summer Program in Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture and the YIVO-Bard Winter Program on Ashkenazi Civilization. As a librettist, he creates historically informed dramatic works that chronicle turning points in history lost to contemporary cultural discourse.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Climate Opera Project PROGRAM - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>GIDEON DABI - BARITONE Baritone Gideon Dabi continues to receive great acclaim delivering “powerfully felt, beautifully performed and articulated” performances across a wide array of genres and styles. His “earnest interpretations” have thrilled audiences throughout the United States, to Israel, Italy, and back again. Last season, Gideon sang Dandini in La Cenerentola with Opera Columbus as well as the studio recording of Gerald Cohen’s Steal a Pencil For Me, which he premiered with Opera Colorado, and he made his debut with Jerusalem Opera in Ahran Harlap’s Therese Raquin. In 2021, Gideon made his company and role debut with the Northern Lights Music Festival as Dandini , repeated the role in his company debut with Annapolis Opera, and was a featured singer on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. In the 2018-19 Season, he returned to The Dallas Opera as Schaunard in La bohème, following his debut with the company in Carmen. He has spent multiple seasons with Sarasota Opera where he has been heard as Dr. Malatesta in Don Pasquale and as Schaunard.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>ALEX WEISER - COMPOSER Broad gestures and rich textures are hallmarks of the “compelling” (The New York Times), “deliciously wistful” (San Francisco Classical Voice), music of composer Alex Weiser. Born and raised in New York City, Weiser creates acutely cosmopolitan music combining a deeply felt historical perspective with a vibrant forward-looking creativity hailed as “personal, expressive, and bold” (I Care If You Listen). Weiser’s debut album and all the days were purple, was named a 2020 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and cited as “a meditative and deeply spiritual work whose unexpected musical language is arresting and directly emotional.” Released by Cantaloupe Music in April 2019, the album includes songs in Yiddish and English. Active as an opera composer, Weiser is currently working on two operas. Tevye’s Daughters, written with librettist Stephanie Fleischmann, is a commission from American Lyric Theater. Based on Sholem Aleichem’s iconic Yiddish stories, it explores the tragic death of Tevye’s lesser-known daughter, Shprintse. The opera also traces the lasting impact of Shprintse’s fate on her sisters who are now elderly and living in New York. The Great Dictionary of the Yiddish Language with librettist Ben Kaplan is set in 1950s post-war New York and follows linguist Yudel Mark as he sets out to write the world’s first fully comprehensive Yiddish dictionary — an effort of linguistic preservation, and a memorial to the dead. Alex Weiser is an alum from the 2017-19 cycle of the Composers &amp; the Voice training program, a competitive biannual fellowship offered to composers, librettists, and composer/librettist teams. Created and led by Composers &amp; the Voice Artistic Director Steven Osgood, the two-year fellowship includes a year of working with the company’s Resident Ensemble of Singers and professional instructors followed by a year of continued promotion and career development through AOP and its strategic partnerships.</image:caption>

Feltkamp (they/he) began their artistic life at the age of 5 in Hicksville, NY playing a quarter-size cello and now they’re "upending preconceptions about voice and gender" (New York Times) as a disabled and trans nonbinary creator. As a creative writer, librettist, poet, opera performer, and producer, their work centers stories from marginalized communities and spans the serious and the ridiculous, the real and the surreal. Most recently, they wrote the libretto for an opera about Emily Dickinson’s queerness that premiered at her historical home (Emily &amp; Sue) and curated New Music Shelf’s award-winning New Music Anthology for Trans &amp; Nonbinary Voices, Vol. 1. They’ve been published in PBS’s American Masters series and OPERA America Magazine, and presented at the national conferences for the League of American Orchestras and Chamber Music America.

      <image:caption>Daniel Klein (Bass) — Pink Jones Daniel Klein has been hailed by the New York Times for his “stentorian bassbaritone” with a  “dark and steely voice.” Audiences and critics alike have found his performances imaginative, adventurous, and occasionally even downright terrifying.  2023 is proving to be a busy year for Daniel, with his debut at Seattle Opera in June singing the roles of Judge Moriarty and Stanley in Huang Ruo’s Bound; a role and company debut in the title role in Gianni Schicci with New Jersey Festival Orchestra in February, and returning to Opera on the James in March for another Schicchi, followed by the roles of Ted and Dewey in Rob Handel and Eric Moe’s Artwork of the Future with Fresh Squeezed Opera in New York City in April. In the 2021/22 season, Daniel returned to Opera Company of Middlebury as Thibaut d'Arc in Tchiakovsky’s The Maid of Orleans (Orleanskaja djeva), and made his Opera on the James debut as Don Bartolo in Il Barbiere di Siviglia,  a role he was to reprise later in the season at Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera, as well as being a visiting teaching artist on Il Barbiere di Siviglia at the Brevard Music Center.   His season was also filled with premiers: his debut with Intermountain Opera Bozeman as Koko (Colton) in Soren Kissel’s newly conceived The Montana Mikado, stepped in last minute with the American Lyric Theater in the premier of I will follow you into the dark at American Sawdust, the Father in the new musical Match Girl with the Yaya Theater Group at the Riverside Church, NYC; and the Mayor Hague in Chilltown Boogie with Con Vivo Music. In December 2019, Daniel gained critical acclaim as Kaspar in Heartbeat Opera’s production of Weber's Der Freischütz.  Critics noted his “blazing, feral intensity”, and “edgy, angry acting turned the whole drama up a notch or two. He seemed genuinely on the edge of mania—which was true of most of the characters. But with Klein, you felt it.” His previous role with Heartbeat Opera, Don “Donnie” Pizarro, in their Black Lives Matter-themed Fidelio, received international acclaim for its powerful and timely message.  Opera News remarked on Klein’s performance that it “communicated all the awful power of a little man who wants to play in the big leagues.” Recent appearances include: Spencer Coyle in Benjamin Britten's Owen Wingrave and Hyde in Carlisle Floyd’s The Prince of Players in their New York Premiers with the Little Opera Theater of New York; Judge Moriarty in the New York premier of Huang Ruo's Bound with Fresh Squeezed Opera; the title role of Verdi's Falstaff with the International Summer Opera Festival of Morelia, Mexico; Dick Deadeye in H.M.S. Pinafore and the Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance with the Sharon Playhouse,CT; Marcello in La Boheme and Baron Gondremark in La vie Parisienne with Long Island Opera; Fra Melitone in La Forza del Destino with New Amsterdam Opera; the bass soloist in Mozart’s Coronation Mass and Handel's Messiah with Garden State Symphony. Daniel also created the title role Frank London’s new opera Hatuey: A Memory of Fire at the Sundance Theater Lab and appeared as the Recluse in London’s Klezmer-Rock Oratorio A Night in the Old Marketplace on tour in Brazil and the US.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Born and raised in New York City, Alex Weiser creates acutely cosmopolitan music combining a deeply felt historical perspective with a vibrant forward-looking creativity hailed as “personal, expressive, and bold” (I Care If You Listen). Weiser’s debut album and all the days were purple, was named a 2020 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and cited as “a meditative and deeply spiritual work whose unexpected musical language is arresting and directly emotional.” Released by Cantaloupe Music in April 2019, the album includes songs in Yiddish and English. Active as an opera composer, Weiser is currently working on two operas. Tevye’s Daughters, written with librettist Stephanie Fleischmann, is a commission from American Lyric Theater. Based on Sholem Aleichem’s iconic Yiddish stories, it explores the tragic death of Tevye’s lesser-known daughter, Shprintse. The opera also traces the lasting impact of Shprintse’s fate on her sisters who are now elderly and living in New York. The Great Dictionary of the Yiddish Language with librettist Ben Kaplan is set in 1950s post-war New York and follows linguist Yudel Mark as he sets out to write the world’s first fully comprehensive Yiddish dictionary — an effort of linguistic preservation, and a memorial to the dead.</image:caption>

Engaged by Peter Brook to perform the title role in his production of La Tragedie de Carmen, Miss Schuman sang in Paris, on a world tour, and at the Lincoln Center Theater.

She made her debut at the Salzburg Festival as Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito, to great critical and popular acclaim.  She repeated the role at Covent Garden, Glyndebourne, Madrid, and Lyon. Hailed by critics for her "soaring voice, immensely expressive and phrasing thoughtfully shaped, giving her character unusual strength and conviction, as well as the requisite quality of vulnerability," Miss Schuman has continually expanded her repertoire, debuting the role of Alice Ford in Verdi’s Falstaff at the Covent Garden with Bernard Haitink conducting; Rezia in Weber’s Oberon with Marc Minkowski at the Flemish Opera; the title role in Schumann’s Genoveva with the Edinburgh Festival and Opera North; Blanche in Poulenc’s Les Dialogues des Carmelites with Rome Opera and Seattle Opera; Madeleine in Strauss’ Capriccio in Toulouse and Marshallin in Der Rosenkavalier at Pittsburgh Opera.
