Frost Department of Vocal Performance

Frost Department of Vocal Performance We are a community of singers---solo, choral, operatic, classical, small ensemble! The voice teachers, coaches, conductors, directors love working with singers!

We love to sing, make music, study and perform at the Frost School, University of Miami. Tradition is the handing on of the flame, not the worship of ashes.--Gustav Mahler We are a working group of singers, teachers, conductors and coaches who are trained in the time-honored traditions of bel canto singing and performing. We look forward and prepare our students to work as performers, teachers an

d researchers in music, most particularly classical singing. We have a track record of excellence that has resulted in our students performing on the great operatic, concert and recital stages of the world. Frost graduates are prepared to move into their careers with excellent training in vocal technique, languages, lyric diction for singing, opera stage and acting techniques, conducting and researching. They have performing experience in small ensembles, solo recitals, large ensembles, opera, choral works, and chamber music. All students---undergraduate through doctoral---audition for and sing lead roles in productions, solos in larger choral works and recitals of other Frost School performance students.

Frost Opera Theater presents Ralph Vaughan Williams’ haunting one-act opera Riders to the Sea, a poignant meditation on loss, resilience, and the enduring power of the sea. Set against the stark beauty of the Aran Islands, the opera tells the story of Maurya, a mother who has lost nearly all the men in her family to the ocean’s unforgiving force. With its deeply expressive score and intimate storytelling, Riders to the Sea offers audiences a moving exploration of grief and acceptance, brought to life by the exceptional artistry of Frost’s rising performers.

Music Director Jenny Snyder@snidejenny leads the production, with Linus Ip conducting and Ellie Lee .lucette_ at the piano, under the program direction of Jeffrey Buchman.

A special aspect of this production is that our Frost Opera students directed the show under the guidance of Professor Buchman. This production will be presented twice. The performance on the 22nd is directed by Frost Opera students Caitlin Turner (M.M.) and Julia Woodring (D.M.A.) .woodring
Each performance offers a unique interpretive perspective on Vaughan Williams’s evocative work, making this a special opportunity to experience the opera in two distinct stagings.
