Soprano Hayley Abramowitz in Concert!
with Marika Yasuda, Accompanist

Sunday, November 21 - 4:00 pm
Resurrection Church. Live-stream link will be available Saturday, November 21

Soprano Hayley Abramowitz and pianist Marika Yasuda present a whirlwind afternoon of art songs and arias. The program will include the beloved melodies of Roger Quilter, the little-known Yiddish music of Lazar Weiner, and the lush French art song of Cécile Chaminade. Hayley and Marika will also perform Mozart’s Popoli di Tessaglia, a concert aria which holds the Guinness World Record for the highest note ever scored for the human voice – two Gs above high C!

​A specialist in early music, new music, and the coloratura repertoire, Hayley recently sang the role of Romilda in a fully staged, COVID-responsible production of Handel’s Serse. They are also frequently contacted to sing world premiere compositions, including William Kenlon’s Longfellow Mosaic, for soprano and Pierrot ensemble. Hayley is also in high demand as a chorister, singing a full season of operas with the Houston Grand Opera Chorus, and returning home to sing under Ed Maclary and Gianandrea Noseda with the National Symphony Orchestra. In the 2019-2020 season, Hayley was slated to make their professional debut, singing Mahler’s Symhony No. 4 with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Steve Reich’s Tehillim with the Ojai Music Festival. Unfortunately, these performances were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
