Barbara Rearick, mezzo-soprano.

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up June 2007 "What a performance Barbara Rearick gave us: tender, richly detailed, all-involving.....Ms. Rearick's performance was as near perfection as I've heard this decade..." wrote William Allin Storrer of Classical New Jersey. England's Manchester Evening News wrote, "The singer is a mezzo-soprano who can happily turn her talents to opera, oratorio or cabaret." A singer whose voice has been described as gorgeous, sensitive and warm, Ms. Rearick has appeared with many major symphonies including the American Symphony Orchestra with which she sang the American premiere of Nicholas Maw's Nocturne. She has performed with Buffalo Philharmonic, Houston Symphony, Irish Chamber Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra under Nicholas MeGegan, Pasadena Pops, Brooklyn Philharmonic under Robert Spano, Kansas City Symphony, City of Birmingham Symphony and under Keith Lockhart, she performed Mahler's Eighth Symphony with Utah Symphony and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. She has performed under Jeffrey Kahane with both Baltimore and Santa Rosa Symphonies and is a frequent soloist with New York's Voices of Ascension under Dennis Keene and the Mark Morris Dance Group. In October of 2001, Ms. Rearick was invited to perform an all-American program with works by George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin with Wheeling Symphony as a memorial to September 11th victims. She has performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Symphony Space, St. John’s Smith Square in London as well as Wigmore Hall in London where she premiered a song cycle written especially for her by her frequent collaborator, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. As a champion of 20th Century music Ms. Rearick has performed several premieres including the world premiere of Jonathan Lloyd’s People Your Dreams at the Aldeburgh Festival and Joelle Wallach's Toward a Time of Renewal at Carnegie Hall. She has performed numerous times with the New York New Music Ensemble and the New York Chamber Ensemble and was the soloist for the London-based Britten-Pears Ensemble. Opera roles include Cherubino (The Marriage of Figaro), Lucretia (The Rape of Lucretia), Suzuki (Madame Butterfly), The Mother (Amahl and the Night Visitors), Meg Page (Falstaff) and Maddalena (Rigoletto) which she performed last year with the Spokane Symphony under Eckart Preu. In the UK, Ms. Rearick and composer/pianist Sir Richard Rodney Bennett have performed at the Buxton, Aldeburgh, Norfolk, Chester, Leeds International Chamber Music, AerFi (Ireland), Ryedale and Spitalfields (London) Festivals. Recent engagements for Ms. Rearick include a world premiere recording of Kurt Weill’s The Eternal Road with Gerard Schwarz, the title role in the first complete performance of Allan Jaffe’s The Life of Mary Shelley in New York, Beethoven’s Mass in C at Carnegie Hall with Oratorio Society of New York and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with Mexico's Xalapa Sinfonia. Engagements in 2007/08 season include Mahler's Third Symphony with Helena Symphony, Messiah with Monterey Symphony and Eugene Concert Choir, Beethoven Ninth Symphony with Amarillo Symphony, Bruckner Te Deum with Voices of the Ascension, Bach St. Matthew Passion with Northwest Bach Festival and a recital at Princeton University where she is a member of the voice faculty. She has appeared on BBC World Service Radio, WQXR in New York and NPR and has recorded for Naxos, ASV and Gateway Classics.
