with collaborative pianist Chewon Park
Sunday, May 1, 2022
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Hailed as “a singer to watch” (Classical Voice America), London-born mezzo soprano Joanne Evans prides herself on her versatility in spanning various musical genres - and on her comedic timing. 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Of Joanne’s performance as Meg Page in Verdi’s Falstaf at Berkshire Opera Festival, Opera News wrote that her “striking personal timbre and refined artistry... made [for] a memorable Meg—not always an easy feat.” Joanne is excited to make her role debut as Olga in Eugene Onegin with Music Academy of the West this Summer, after which she will perform the roles of Maddalena in Rigoletto, and on tour as Stéphano in Romeo et Juliette as part of her role as Resident Artist with Opera Colorado.
Joanne was recently named a winner of the Met Opera Competition Boston District, and was a finalist in the 2019 Harlem Opera Theatre competition.
Elsewhere Joanne is credited as co-writer and vocalist of the theme song for the BBC show Pitch Battle (2017).
