Saturday, May 1, 2021
Online Event
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Meg Jones is a soprano who takes great pride in filling the stage with her vivacious voice and dynamic storytelling. She performs repertoire from Baroque to contemporary music, taking every opportunity to explore new pieces. She was the 2018 concerto competition winner at Ithaca College, where she performed “Où va la jeune Hindoue” from Lakmé with the Ithaca College Orchestra. In addition, she sang the lead role of Laetita in IC’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti's opera, The Old Maid and the Thief. The recipient of the Roberta Peters Scholarship at Ithaca College, Meg is currently a second-year student in the Graduate Vocal Arts Program at Bard College-Conservatory in the studio of Edith Bers. At Bard, she has had the honor of performing the role of Laurie in Bard’s very own pastiche, Rest in Pieces directed by Stephanie Blythe. Meg was noted to have “exceeded on stage” (Millbrook Independent) and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Laurie’s story from Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land in a brand-new context. She has also appeared as the soprano soloist for Bach’s Trauerode Cantata BWV 198 with the Bard Baroque Ensemble. During this time of unprecedented global disruption, Meg is exploring new ways to create, collaborate, and communicate virtually. Throughout Meg’s last entirely remote semester at Bard College, she will be a part of a world premiere of a Yiddish song cycle in collaboration with composer Derek David, and Bard’s productions of Menotti’s The Medium and Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins, in addition to her graduate recital.7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
