      <image:caption>Ars Lyrica Houston celebrates ambition and innovation in 2018/19 with Handel’s Agrippina—our first full-length Baroque opera—plus the complete “Brandenburg” Concertos by J. S. Bach. This “out-of-the-box” season highlights composers and works that are exceptional, definitive, unusual, even infamous. With Bach’s six concertos appearing in pairs throughout the season, individual programs explore distinct ways of thinking about our general theme, from unexpected musical gifts to singular collections and composers..</image:caption>

A. Hasse’s Marc Antonio e Cleopatra—was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Opera. His academic degrees include a PhD in musicology from Stanford University and the prix de virtuosité in both organ and harpsichord from the Conservatoire National de Reuil-Malmaison, France, where he spent two years as a Fulbright scholar. Equally active as a scholar and as an organist, Dirst is Professor of Music at the Moores School of Music, University of Houston, and Organist at St Philip Presbyterian Church in Houston.

      <image:title>1920 Newcomers - George Frederic Handel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born in 1685 in Germany, Handel was a violinist, organist, harpsichordist, and composer. His travels to Italy provided an education in Italian operatic style, which was at the time very popular in Germany in England (and served to catapult him into the spotlight back in the north). He eventually settled in England and became a court composer for the royal family. Handel is most famous for his vocal works like his Messiah, with its instantly-recognizable Hallelujah chorus. Because of his prowess in writing vocal and dramatic works, we wanted to program an all-Handel concert that highlights his exciting, emotional vocal writing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>1920 Newcomers - Concerto/concerto grosso</image:title>
      <image:caption>A piece of music usually written for a soloist, or a small group (that’s what grosso means), of instruments that is meant to show off virtuosity and skill, kind of like an aria for instruments. It’s usually in a three-moment format of fast-slow-fast, which allows the demonstration of both technical and musical prowess.</image:caption>

      <image:title>1920 Newcomers - Aria</image:title>
      <image:caption>A long accompanied song for a solo voice, typically one in an opera or oratorio. While a recitative is about propelling the storyline with lots of text, an aria is about one or two thoughts and demonstrates the singer’s skill and virtuosity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Houston native Lois Alba began her vocal studies at the age of 12, which continued through her teens in New York at Mannes as well as the Daykarhanova School. She became the first winner of the Southwest Division of the Metropolitan Opera Competition and was the first Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier at Houston Grand Opera. The legendary Mme. Lotte Lehmann prepared her for the role. Ms. Alba has performed on several occasions with the Houston Symphony and Leopold Stokowski. In 1978, Ms. Alba founded Soma International Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping aspiring opera singers secure more opportunities, exposure, training and guidance in the exciting and highly competitive art world of opera. As her professional presence grew, Stokowski and Mme. Lehmann, encouraged Ms. Alba to move to Europe to pursue her studies and career. She spent over a decade in Europe, and later returned to Houston to teach and promote the arts in the city. Her teaching specialty became bel canto technique, and with her spare time, she also co-founded Opera in the Heights in 1996. A respected author, Ms. Alba wrote Vocal Rescue: Rediscover the Beauty, Power and Freedom in Your Singing. She will celebrate the 15th Lois Alba Aria Competition on May 31st, 2020, held in Cullen Hall at the University of St Thomas.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Robin Angly and Miles Smith followed similar musical paths in life before meeting, marrying, and championing the city’s artistic and cultural communities together. Robin can’t remember a time when music wasn’t a major part of her life. She started taking piano lessons at the age of five. Voice lessons came later. This began a romance with music that would continue for the rest of her life. As she was growing up, her eclectic musical tastes led Robin to listen to soprano Joan Sutherland and jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald and to fall in love with the music of Bach. She went on later in life to sing in the Houston Grand Opera (HGO) Chorus and the Houston Symphony Chorus. Music was an essential part of Miles’ life from an early age as well. He took clarinet lessons as a child and added voice lessons later. Miles continued playing clarinet at the University of Illinois, where he was a member of the marching band. His developing taste in music led Miles to Wagner and jazz. Although he also eventually sang in the HGO Chorus, he and Robin didn’t meet until later. Their musical connections and shared passion for music eventually brought Robin and Miles together, and they have been active copatrons of the arts ever since. HGO, Houston Symphony, Da Camera, Ars Lyrica, and Inprint are all institutions that have benefited from their unwavering support. It has been said of the couple that their “tireless advocacy and generous support of many of Houston’s leading cultural organizations has been crucial to artistic growth, financial sustainability, and long-term impact in the community.” Robin and Miles were founding members of Ars Lyrica Houston and are now leading Ars Lyrica's Opera Circle, a fundraising initiative that supports the organization’s biennial Baroque opera productions. Robin and Miles were the honorary chairs and the honorees at the Ars Lyrica Roaring Twenties Gala in 2017, and Robin was honored at an Artful Women concert in February of 2018 as part of Ars Lyrica’s movement to recognize some of Houston’s leading female philanthropists.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dido and Aeneas - Moores School Concert Chorale</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Moores School Concert Chorale is the University of Houston’s premiere large choral ensemble. The group has been under the direction of Betsy Cook Weber since 2002. Since that time the group has appeared as an invited choir before the 2004 national convention of the American Musicological Society, the 2005 and 2008 Texas Music Educators Association conventions, and the 2007 American Choral Directors Association national convention in Miami. Chorale members traveled to compete at the Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales in 2019, and were invited to represent the United States at this prestigious festival's opening night concert. At that world-renowned festival, Chorale won or placed in every category in which they entered, including a first price in the most coveted category of all, Chamber Choir.  The goal of the Moores School of Music is to prepare singers who are strong musicians possessed of a secure vocal technique that will enable them to succeed wherever vocal opportunities presents themselves. Recently, in addition to numerous concerts of standard choral repertoire, Chorale members have sung in productions of The Saint of Bleecker Street (Menotti), The Ghost of Versailles (Corigliano), Orpheus in the Underworld (Offenbach), and Grapes of Wrath Gordon), Carmina Burana, Verdi's Requiem, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection). Because of the school’s enviable location in one of the country’s most active musical and cultural centers, these students are active as paid soloists, section leaders, and directors of church choirs, and they often teach voice privately in the public schools. When schedules permit, they may be seen singing with the Mercury Baroque, Cantare, the Houston Symphony Chorus, and the Houston Chamber Choir.</image:caption>

Sarah is grateful to have also prepared and staged the title role in Kevin Puts’ contemporary opera, Elizabeth Cree, before the production was cancelled due to Covid-19. Prior to Covid-19, Sarah received the Encouragement Award at the Metropolitan Opera National Council’s Houston District as well as First Prize in the Madame Rose Scholarship Competition at Mobile Opera. Sarah is thrilled to return to live performance with her Ars Lyrica debut performing J.S. Bach’s cantata Ich habe genug, and she looks forward to joining Ars Lyrica again in 2022 to perform the role of First Witch in the company’s production of Dido and Aeneas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Eternity and the Underworld - Tara Faircloth, stage director</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stage director Tara Faircloth’s work has been seen in opera houses around the nation. Critics hailed her recent directorial debut at Lyric Opera of Chicago: a “wickedly funny, elegantly sung, cleverly directed production of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville.” In recent seasons, she created new productions of The Little Prince (Utah Opera), Ariadne auf Naxos (Wolf Trap Opera), Il re pastore (Merola Opera), Agrippina (Ars Lyrica Houston), and L’incoronazione di Poppea (Boston Baroque). The 2021-2022 season finds Ms. Faircloth working on several new productions, including Emmeline with Tulsa Opera, La Traviata at Opera Santa Barbara and The Merry Wives of Windsor with The Juilliard School. In addition, she revisits old favorite The Barber of Seville in a debut at Dallas Opera. The baroque repertoire is of special interest to Ms. Faircloth, who made her directorial debut with Ars Lyrica Houston’s production of Cain: Il primo omicidio in 2003, and has since designed and directed a number of shows for the company. She splits her time between Austin and Houston, Texas, where she enjoys restoring her 1935 Craftsman Bungalow.</image:caption>

      <image:title>An Uncommon Chevalier - Christina Day Martinson, violin º</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, Christina Day Martinson serves as Concertmaster for Boston Baroque. She has been a featured soloist with Boston Baroque, the Handel and Haydn Society, The Bach Ensemble, Tempesta di Mare, the Unicamp Symphony Orchestra in Brazil and the Philharmonisch Orkest Mozart in Amsterdam. In 2018, Martinson was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo for her tour-de-force performance of the complete cycle of Heinrich Biber’s The Mystery Sonatas, with Boston Baroque.   Martinson also serves as Associate Concertmaster for the Handel and Haydn Society and has performed as Concertmaster under conductors such as Roger Norrington, Richard Egarr, Bernard Labadie, Martin Pearlman, Nicholas McGegan, Laurence Cummings, and Harry Christophers. Martinson's performances of the complete Mystery Sonatas in 2012-13 were hailed by The Boston Globe as a Top 10 Performance of the Year in 2012 and chosen by Jeremy Eichler for his Top Concerts of 2013.    Martinson has given chamber music recitals in Jordan Hall, Boston, Ishihara Hall, Japan, at the Thüringen Bachwochen in Germany, the Casals Festival, Puerto Rico, and at the Leuven Festival in Belgium.  Martinson recorded Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with Boston Baroque for Telarc. Gramophone lauded the recording: “This is story-telling par excellence, Martinson’s polished technique and elegant musicianship fired in the kiln of imagination to produce mind-pictures of such vividness that the Greek term ekphrasis, with all its rhetorical associations, hardly covers it."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Houston native Lois Alba began her vocal studies at the age of 12, which continued through her teens in New York at Mannes as well as the Daykarhanova School. She became the first winner of the Southwest Division of the Metropolitan Opera Competition and was the first Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier at Houston Grand Opera. The legendary Mme. Lotte Lehmann prepared her for the role. Ms. Alba has performed on several occasions with the Houston Symphony and Leopold Stokowski. In 1978, Ms. Alba founded Soma International Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping aspiring opera singers secure more opportunities, exposure, training and guidance in the exciting and highly competitive art world of opera. As her professional presence grew, Stokowski and Mme. Lehmann, encouraged Ms. Alba to move to Europe to pursue her studies and career. She spent over a decade in Europe, and later returned to Houston to teach and promote the arts in the city. Her teaching specialty became bel canto technique, and with her spare time, she also co-founded Opera in the Heights in 1996. A respected author, Ms. Alba wrote Vocal Rescue: Rediscover the Beauty, Power and Freedom in Your Singing. She will celebrate the 15th Lois Alba Aria Competition on May 31st, 2020, held in Cullen Hall at the University of St Thomas.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Robin Angly and Miles Smith followed similar musical paths in life before meeting, marrying, and championing the city’s artistic and cultural communities together. Robin can’t remember a time when music wasn’t a major part of her life. She started taking piano lessons at the age of five. Voice lessons came later. This began a romance with music that would continue for the rest of her life. As she was growing up, her eclectic musical tastes led Robin to listen to soprano Joan Sutherland and jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald and to fall in love with the music of Bach. She went on later in life to sing in the Houston Grand Opera (HGO) Chorus and the Houston Symphony Chorus. Music was an essential part of Miles’ life from an early age as well. He took clarinet lessons as a child and added voice lessons later. Miles continued playing clarinet at the University of Illinois, where he was a member of the marching band. His developing taste in music led Miles to Wagner and jazz. Although he also eventually sang in the HGO Chorus, he and Robin didn’t meet until later. Their musical connections and shared passion for music eventually brought Robin and Miles together, and they have been active copatrons of the arts ever since. HGO, Houston Symphony, Da Camera, Ars Lyrica, and Inprint are all institutions that have benefited from their unwavering support. It has been said of the couple that their “tireless advocacy and generous support of many of Houston’s leading cultural organizations has been crucial to artistic growth, financial sustainability, and long-term impact in the community.” Robin and Miles were founding members of Ars Lyrica Houston and are now leading Ars Lyrica's Opera Circle, a fundraising initiative that supports the organization’s biennial Baroque opera productions. Robin and Miles were the honorary chairs and the honorees at the Ars Lyrica Roaring Twenties Gala in 2017, and Robin was honored at an Artful Women concert in February of 2018 as part of Ars Lyrica’s movement to recognize some of Houston’s leading female philanthropists.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Musical Duels - Matthew Dirst, harpsichord</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ars Lyrica Artistic Director Matthew Dirst, recently described in the Washington Post as an “efficient, extremely precise conductor who has an ear for detail,” is the first American musician to win major international prizes in both organ and harpsichord, including the American Guild of Organists National Young Artist Competition and the Warsaw International Harpsichord Competition. Widely admired for his stylish playing and conducting, Dirst leads a period-instrument ensemble with several acclaimed recordings, one of which—J. A. Hasse’s Marc Antonio e Cleopatra—was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Opera. His degrees include a PhD in musicology from Stanford University and the prix de virtuosité in both organ and harpsichord from the Conservatoire National de Reuil-Malmaison, France, where he spent two years as a Fulbright scholar. Equally active as a scholar and as an organist, Dirst is Professor of Music at the Moores School of Music, University of Houston, and Organist at St Philip Presbyterian Church in Houston. His publications include Engaging Bach: The Keyboard Legacy from Marpurg to Mendelssohn (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and Bach and the Organ (University of Illinois Press, 2016).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Musical Duels - Mario Aschauer, harpsichord</image:title>
      <image:caption>Austrian conductor, harpsichordist, and musicologist Mario Aschauer works at the interface of music scholarship and performance. He has built up a diverse repertoire specializing in Austrian Baroque music. As member of the Calamus-Consort he has performed at numerous renowned early music festivals such as Resonanzen Vienna, Bach Fest Leipzig, and Itinéraire Baroque en Périgord Vert (France). Having earned a degree in conducting from the Linz Bruckner Conservatory at the young age of seventeen, Mario had already conducted major works from the choral and symphonic canon before he graduated from high school. He holds a PhD in musicology from the University of Vienna and an MA in harpsichord performance from the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna. Before Mario came to Texas to teach music history, historically informed performance, and early keyboard instruments at Sam Houston State University, he was a postdoctoral fellow and visiting guest lecturer at the Yale School of Music.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Signature Works - Sherezade Panthaki, soprano</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soprano Sherezade Panthaki's international success has been fueled by superbly honed musicianship; “shimmering sensitivity” (Cleveland Plain Dealer); “radiant” voice (The Washington Post); and vividly passionate interpretations, “mining deep emotion from the subtle shaping of the lines” (The New York Times). An acknowledged star in the early-music field, Ms. Panthaki has ongoing collaborations with leading early music interpreters including Nicholas McGegan, Simon Carrington, Matthew Halls, and Masaaki Suzuki, with whom she made her New York Philharmonic debut. Ms. Panthaki’s 2019/20 orchestral season included returns to both Minnesota Orchestra (Messiah) and Winter Park Bach Festival (Brahms Requiem) and performances with Houston Symphony (Messiah) and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, among others. This season, she rejoins the viol consort Parthenia for an “Elizabethan Christmas” program and returns to Boston Early Music Festival performing the role of Ellenia in Graupner’s Antiochus und Stratonica.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Red Priest of Venice - Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, countertenor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Acclaimed as a “young star” and “complete artist” by The New York Times and “extravagantly gifted... poised to redefine what’s possible for singers of this distinctive voice type” by the San Francisco Chronicle, countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen is one of the classical vocal world’s most promising rising stars.     Performances of the 2021-22 season included a role debut as Handel’s Giulio Cesare with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra conducted by Christopher Moulds, gala concerts with The Dallas Opera led by Emmanuel Villaume, and debuts at the Opernhaus Zürich in a world premiere ballet creation choreographed by Christian Spruck upon the music of Monteverdi’s Madrigals and at the Metropolitan Opera in the company’s new production of Hamlet by composer Brett Dean. Highlights of past seasons include opera performances at Houston Grand Opera, San Francisco Opera, Theater an der Wien, and Adelaide Festival and concert appearances with San Francisco Symphony, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and the Buffalo Philharmonic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>From China with Love - Manami Mizumoto, violin º</image:title>
      <image:caption>New York born Manami Mizumoto started her lifelong relationship with music at age three on the violin. Early exposure to chamber music sparked in her a devoted love of collaboration. This led to a fascination with performing contemporary music and working with living composers. In recent years, this has manifested in being a founding member of the group Nuova Pratica, a collective of composer-performers working with centuries-old practices of improvisation in the modern day. In addition, Manami is passionate about exploring different approaches to music making in history and how that can transform the way modern audiences relate to music of the past. Her driving curiosity is in exploring the dialogue between ancient and contemporary thoughts, and she is equally at home on the baroque violin, modern violin, and electro-acoustic setups with Ableton Live. Manami is a graduate of the Juilliard School where she earned a Bachelor's with Catherine Cho and Joel Smirnoff, a Masters in Historical Performance, and graduated with the Norman Benzaquen Career Advancement Grant. In 2022, she was selected the newest member of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and continues to be a Fellow of The English Concert in America, elected in 2021.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Touring: Crossing Borders - Camille Ortiz, soprano</image:title>
      <image:caption>Internationally recognized for compelling performances of baroque and concert repertoire, native Puerto Rican soprano Camille Ortiz is quickly establishing herself as a leading operatic artist. The upcoming 2021-2022 season includes recitals and masterclasses of Latin American art song across the United States; Pamina in Eugene Opera’s production of The Magic Flute; an Ars Lyrica Houston tour of Spanish baroque repertoire, including a debut with the Music Before 1800 music series in New York City, and a highly anticipated debut with the Boston Baroque as Oriana in Handel’s Amadigi di Gaula. She has appeared with Opera Orlando, Gulfshore Opera, Magic City Opera, Philhamornia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, Ars Lyrica Houston, the Naples Philharmonic, the Dallas Bach Society, the Orchestra of New Spain, the Festival of the Aegean in Greece, the Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina (John Rutter conducting), and at Carnegie Hall with MidAm International. She appears in the highly acclaimed CD recording of Rameau’s Le temple de la gloire with the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, conducted by Nicholas McGegan, for which she was named “the stand-out” of the recording by BBC Music Magazine, October 2018. Her fall 2018 performances with the Philharmonia Baroque of Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate, Coronation Mass in C Major, and Litaniae Lauretanae have also been broadcast on San Francisco’s KDFC, classical music radio.   Ms. Ortiz is Assistant Professor of Voice at University of Oregon, School of Music and Dance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fugal Games - Matthew Dirst, harpsichord</image:title>
      <image:caption>Founder and Artistic Director of Ars Lyrica Houston, Matthew Dirst is widely admired for his stylish playing and conducting. Winner of major international prizes in both organ and harpsichord, he is featured on two new recordings: Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1, and Alessandro Scarlatti’s 1710 oratorio La sposa dei cantici (both from Acis Productions). About the latter, Early Music America notes that “Dirst brilliantly brings it all to life,” in a “historically informed and compelling performance…of this rarely heard work.” Dirst’s other recordings with Ars Lyrica have received similar critical acclaim, including a Grammy nomination for Best Opera (2011). As Professor of Music at the Moores School of Music, University of Houston, Dirst teaches courses in musicology and performance. He is the author of Engaging Bach: The Keyboard Legacy from Marpurg to Mendelssohn (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and Bach’s Art of Fugue and Musical Offering (Oxford University Press, 2023). His academic degrees include a PhD in musicology from Stanford University and the prix de virtuosité in both organ and harpsichord from the Conservatoire National de Reuil-Malmaison, France, where he spent two years as a Fulbright scholar.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Possessed of a keen interest in seventeenth and eighteenth century culture from a young age, Colin St Martin began playing the traverso at the age of fourteen. He began his formal studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music (Brussels, Belgium) receiving a First Prize under the tutelage of the renowned master, Bart Kuijken. St. Martin continued his studies with graduate work at Indiana University where he was the traverso instructor. From 1993 to 2010, St. Martin served as the early-flute professor at Peabody Conservatory.

      <image:title>Visions and Reveries - Lauren Snouffer, soprano</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recognized for her unique artistic curiosity in world-class performances spanning the music of Claudio Monteverdi and Johann Adolph Hasse through to Missy Mazzoli and Sir George Benjamin, American Lauren Snouffer is celebrated as one of the most versatile and respected sopranos on the international stage. Lauren Snouffer celebrates two high profile operatic debuts this season: with the Royal Swedish Opera she creates the role of Justine in the world premiere of Karlsson and Vavrek’s opera Melancholia, and she makes a Glyndebourne debut as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte. A deeply admired guest of The Cleveland Orchestra, Lauren Snouffer returns for Mahler’s Fourth Symphony and the North American premiere of Besty Jolas’ Ces belles années. Other highlights of the symphonic calendar include Sir George Benjamin’s Written on Skin with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Stravinsky’s cantata Les Noces with the San Francisco Symphony, Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem with the Houston Symphony, Handel’s Messiah with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and Bach’s Weihnachtsoratorium with the Orchestra of St. Luke's and St. John Passion with the Seattle Symphony.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Countertenor Randall Scotting has become a sought-after artist by some of the world’s most esteemed opera houses. He recently made a spectacular debut at the Royal Opera House as Apollo in Britten’s Death in Venice, singing to sold-out audiences at Covent Garden in Sir David McVicar’s acclaimed production. Randall then joined the roster of the Metropolitan Opera to cover performances of Handel’s Agrippina, and after a widely praised performance as the Refugee in Flight at Seattle Opera, he performed the title role in Cavalli’s Eliogabalo in San Francisco and returned to London to record a highly anticipated solo album of virtuosic castrato arias with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment led by Handel-specialist Laurence Cummings. This season, Randall makes a role debut as Ruggiero in Handel’s Alcina with Seattle Opera, and will the reprise the role in Opernhaus Wuppertal’s production, in addition to joining Nashville Symphony for Carmina Burana and Ars Lyrica Houston for Amadigi di Gaula.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In Praise of Virtue - Hannah De Priest</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hannah De Priest ignites stages with fearless performances across a wide range of lyric repertoire. Hailed a "breakout artist" (Boston Globe) with "a voice that is theater itself", the young soprano's recent debuts include acclaimed appearances at the Kennedy Center, Innsbruck Early Music Festival, Haymarket Opera Company, Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, and multiple productions with the Boston Early Music Festival. Equally at home on the opera stage and in chamber music, she is especially renowned for her “masterful” (Olyrix) singing of Baroque repertoire. De Priest's "glittering, easy soprano" (Merkur) has garnered accolades at numerous important competitions, including the Cesti Competition for Baroque Opera, Concours Corneille, the Luminarts Cultural Foundation, and the Handel Aria Competition. In the fall of 2024, she will record music by Rameau, Handel, and Lefebvre on her debut solo album with Les Délices.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In Praise of Virtue - Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen</image:title>
      <image:caption>Countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen brings his “ravishing...otherworldly” (Opera News) instrument to a broad range of repertoire spanning the Baroque to the contemporary. Acclaimed as both a “young star” and “complete artist” by the New York Times and as “extravagantly gifted... poised to redefine what’s possible for singers of this distinctive voice type” by the San Francisco Chronicle, Mr. Nussbaum Cohen’s passion for creating performances of great vocal beauty and dramatic intensity have earned him a reputation as “a redefining force in the countertenor field” (Limelight). Mr. Nussbaum Cohen finds a close affinity between the ancient musical traditions of his Jewish heritage and the Baroque works composing much of his operatic repertoire. Equally content performing new works, Nussbaum Cohen’s first commercial recording project – the world premiere of Kenneth Fuchs’ Poems of Life performed with the London Symphony Orchestra under JoAnn Falletta – was honored with a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Compendium in 2019; and his interpretation of the Refugee’s aria from Jonathan Dove’s Flight provided the centerpiece for his extensive catalogue of competition successes, including winning the Grand Prize at the 2017 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, taking top prize in Houston Grand Opera’s Eleanor McCollum and the Dallas Opera Guild Competitions, and winning a George and Nora London Foundation Award. He counts among his career highlights his recent Metropolitan Opera debut as Rosencrantz in the U.S. premiere of Brett Dean’s Hamlet, and he looks forward to upcoming world premieres at La Monnaie de Munt (Mikael Karlsson’s Fanny and Alexander) and Deutsche Oper Berlin (in the title role in Aribert Reimann’s The Picture of Dorian Gray).</image:caption>

Seen and Heard International Review praised Schuller for her "colorful and caressing" singing.

      <image:title>Handel's Theodora - MSM Concert Chorale</image:title>
      <image:caption>Directed by Betsy Cook Weber, The Moores School Concert Chorale is the University of Houston’s premiere large choral ensemble. The group has been under the direction of Betsy Cook Weber since 2002. Since that time the group has appeared as an invited choir before the 2004 national convention of the American Musicological Society, the 2005 and 2008 Texas Music Educators Association conventions, and the 2007 American Choral Directors Association national convention in Miami. The choralnet.org blog described their Miami performances as “absolutely outstanding” and “stunning.” Chorale members traveled to compete at the Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales this past summer, and were invited to represent the United States at this prestigious festival's opening night concert. At that world-renowned festival, Chorale won or placed in every category in which they entered, including a first price in the most coveted category of all, Chamber Choir.   The goal of the Moores School of Music is to prepare singers who are strong musicians possessed of a secure vocal technique that will enable them to succeed wherever vocal opportunities presents themselves. Recently, in addition to numerous concerts of standard choral repertoire, Chorale members have sung in productions of The Saint of Bleecker Street (Menotti), The Ghost of Versailles (Corigliano), Orpheus in the Underworld (Offenbach), and Grapes of Wrath Gordon), Carmina Burana, Verdi's Requiem, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection). They have sung in masterclasses with Joseph Flummerfelt, Charles Bruffy, and for the men’s vocal ensemble, Cantus. A number of singers were featured in the NBC television show Clash of the Choirs, filmed in New York City December, 2007, and Chorale members were featured at the Latin Grammys Lifetime Achievement Awards in November, 2008. Because of the school’s enviable location in one of the country’s most active musical and cultural centers, these students are active as paid soloists, section leaders, and directors of church choirs, and they often teach voice privately in the public schools. When schedules permit, they may be seen singing with the Mercury Baroque, Cantare, the Houston Symphony Chorus, and the Houston Chamber Choir.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bach's Divine Comedy (9/19) - Hannah De Priest</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soprano Hannah De Priest is a fearless performer especially renowned for her “masterful” (Olyrix) performances of Baroque repertoire. Consistently described as a “standout” and praised for her “bright, ideally-focused sound, allied to a probing expressive intelligence” (Chicago Classical Review), the young soprano enjoys a fast-rising career in North America and Europe. Her 2025-26 season includes three operatic tellings of the Orfeo myth; Gluck’s Orfeo (Amore, Music of the Baroque), Jacopo Peri’s Eurydice (Dafne, Haymarket Opera), and Monteverdi’s Orfeo with Ars Lyrica Houston (Proserpina). She also returns to the Boston Early Music Festival for her first title role with the company in Provenzale’s La Stellidaura vendicante. On the concert stage, performs Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with the Washington Bach Consort, Handel’s Messiah with the St. Louis Bach Festival, and headlines a concert and tour of Handelian cantatas with Les Délices. Her debut solo album with the ensemble is set to release in Spring 2026.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bach's Divine Comedy (9/19) - Michael Skarke</image:title>
      <image:caption>Acclaimed for his "exquisite, almost ethereal tone quality" (Vocal Arts Chicago) and “sexy, strong countertenor" (Stage and Cinema LA), Michael Skarke is quickly making waves among the opera and ensemble scenes of the United States and abroad. In previous seasons, Michael has performed with some of the leading opera companies in the States, including the Boston Early Music Festival, Pacific Opera Project, West Edge Opera, the American Baroque Opera Company, and Haymarket Opera, where his performances as Ottone in Monteverdi’s Poppea were marked by Opera News as “honey-toned,” and by Chicago Classical Review as “superb… somehow making this weak lovelorn character credible and appealing.” Michael maintains a highly active schedule with the Houston early music scene. This year includes a full season of performances with Harmonia Stellarum, a solo recital with Mercury Chamber Orchestra, and two programs with Ars Lyrica Houston. When not performing, Michael enjoys golfing, weightlifting, and spending time with his wife, Jenny, and their kids, Clarke and Jack.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Watchmen's Song (12/02) - Michael Skarke</image:title>
      <image:caption>Acclaimed for his "exquisite, almost ethereal tone quality" (Vocal Arts Chicago) and “sexy, strong countertenor" (Stage and Cinema LA), Michael Skarke is quickly making waves among the opera and ensemble scenes of the United States and abroad. In previous seasons, Michael has performed with some of the leading opera companies in the States, including the Boston Early Music Festival, Pacific Opera Project, West Edge Opera, the American Baroque Opera Company, and Haymarket Opera, where his performances as Ottone in Monteverdi’s Poppea were marked by Opera News as “honey-toned,” and by Chicago Classical Review as “superb… somehow making this weak lovelorn character credible and appealing.” Michael maintains a highly active schedule with the Houston early music scene. This year includes a full season of performances with Harmonia Stellarum, a solo recital with Mercury Chamber Orchestra, and two programs with Ars Lyrica Houston. When not performing, Michael enjoys golfing, weightlifting, and spending time with his wife, Jenny, and their kids, Clarke and Jack.</image:caption>
