Emily Marvosh, contralto, has been gaining recognition for her “flexible technique and ripe color,” and “smooth, apparently effortless vocal display.” Following her solo debut at Boston’s Symphony Hall in 2011, she has been a frequent soloist with the Handel and Haydn Society under the direction of Harry Christophers. Other recent solo appearances include the Charlotte Symphony (Messiah), L’academie (Vivaldi’s Nisi Dominus), Back Bay Chorale (Magnificat), the Brookline Symphony (Sea Pictures), the Chorus of Westerly (Mozart’s Requiem), the White Mountain Bach Festival (Vivaldi’s Salve Regina), Opera Boston (La Grande Duchesse de Gérolstein), and Boston Lyric Opera (Rusalka); additionally, she is often a featured contributor to the Marsh Chapel Choir Bach Cantata Series.
Her contributions to 21st century repertoire and performance include world premiere performances with Juventas New Music and Intermezzo Chamber Opera, and in 2013, Miss Marvosh will create the roles of Viviane and the Mother in the world premiere of Hugo Kauder’s Merlin with the Hugo Kauder Society. She is a founding member of the Lorelei Ensemble, which promotes new music for women. Of a recent Lorelei performance, one critic wrote, “Marvosh, whose stage presence was a joy to behold, offered a tone that had the velvety soulfulness of a cello…and lent a refreshing pious solemnity to this more joyful of Mass texts.” A frequent recitalist and proud native of Michigan, she has created a chamber recital that celebrates the history and culture of her home state. The Michigan Recital features commissions by emerging composers and performances by fellow Michiganders. The recital will be premiered in Boston and toured to Michigan in 2013. Ensemble appearances in the past and upcoming seasons include the Oregon Bach Festival under the direction of Helmut Rilling, the Bachakademie Stuttgart, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Tucson Chamber Artists, Boston Camerata, the New York Virtuoso Singers, the Yale Choral Artists, and Cambridge Concentus. A regular member of Miami-based Seraphic Fire, Miss Marvosh can be heard on their recent GRAMMY-nominated recording of Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem. She holds degrees from Central Michigan University and Boston University. © Emily Marvosh |
