is breaking down stylistic barriers and forging a new model of a performer who is directly involved in the creation of contemporary music.

Have a look at Ms. Upshaw’s repertoire. Among her recordings are “Dawn Upshaw Sings Vernon Duke” and “Osvaldo Gilojov: Ayre”. She’s comfortable with Bach and Stravinsky, and John Harbison. Obviously, as composers, this is the kind of performer we want to get to know!

So, from a composer, congrats to Dawn Upshaw, and thanks!
