JULIANNE BAIRD
Soprano
Distinguished University Professor of Music
Rutgers University at Camden
Wednesday 28 November • 7:30 pm
St. Peter’s Church
313 Pine Street, Philadelphia
Hailed as one of the most extraordinary voices in the
service of early music today, soprano Julianne Baird is a revered performer
and musicologist. She has appeared at the Kennedy Center, Chicago’s
Symphony Hall, and Tanglewood, and has over 125 recordings to her credit.
Prof. Baird has the rare ability both to demonstrate the full range of
the singer’s art and to explain it.
Join us for this musical evening
created especially for the Penn Humanities Forum on Origins.
Cosponsored by St.
Peter’s Church of Philadelphia.
With more than 125 recordings to her credit on Decca,
Deutsche Gramophone, Dorian, and Newport Classics, Julianne Baird is one
of the world’s ten most recorded classical artists. In addition
to her major roles in a series of acclaimed recordings of Handel and
Gluck operatic premieres, recent projects include a Carnegie performance
of the lead role in La Giuditta of Alessandro Scarlatti with subsequent
recording.
December 10, 2006, marks her debut in Philadelphia's
Kimmel Center, followed by performances of Messiah in Princeton
and in Carnegie Hall. She recently recorded the Handel Deutsche
Arien with Tempesta di Mare for Chandos to be released in
2007, and a new DVD of the music of Buxtehude has just been released
by Lyrichord. Her new Christmas album “In Dulci Jubilo” (released
July 2006) has been received to rave notices.
