Lauded for
her "warm, rich mezzo voice" and "well-timed comic charm,"
mezzo-soprano Genevieve Baglio is currently living in
Walla Walla, Washington. She teaches voice both
privately and as a faculty member of Whitman College.
Genevieve is also an active performer in the Northwest
region.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Genevieve received her BM
in vocal performance at Whitman College. She went on
study at the Boston Conservatory of Music, and received her
MM in vocal performance from Western Washington University,
in her hometown of Bellingham, WA.
In that time, her solo performances were extensive,
including the one woman opera Bon Appétit! for
which she was advised directly by composer Lee Hoiby.
More recently, Genevieve has been seen in the roles of the
Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music with the
Western Washington Summer Stock company and Dido in
Dido and Aeneas with the Divertimento Chamber Opera
company. Her recent concert engagements include the
alto solo in the Mozart Requiem with the Consort Columbia
and in Bach's Magnificat with the Whitman Chamber Singers.
UPCOMING PERFORMANCES:
Amahl and the Night Visitors
Mother
Walla Walla Choral Society
Gian Carlo Menotti's classic Christmas opera. Its charming
mix of tuneful melody, dancing rhythms, delightful choruses,
humor and poignancy, and an English text makes this work
immediately accessible to audiences of all ages and musical
tastes.
