With an eclectic range of experience Kristin finds herself hired for a variety of engagements throughout the year. As a singer her talents and training varies from classical styles such as opera, oratorio, and art song, to more contemporary genres such as musical theater, pop, blues, and jazz. Regardless of repertoire Kristin embraces the voice as a living, breathing instrument and celebrates the wide range of sounds it can uniquely produce.
Kristin's most recent onstage performances have been at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre with Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra (Berlioz's Les Troyens á Cartage, Verdi's Don Carlo) and Odyssey Opera's presentation of Menotti's The Last Savage at The Huntington Theatre. She has appeared as a reoccurring artist with Seaglass Theatre Company in their production of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel (featured as Hansel), "Stephen Sondheim Tribute", and "Stars and Stripes" Memorial Day salute. As a local Boston resident Kristin has also worked with esteemed companies such as Emmanual Music, Opera del West, Harvard University’s Lowell House Opera, and Boston Opera Collaborative.
As a choral singer she looks forward to returning for her fourth season as a Winter Artist with the world-renowned ensemble, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. Locally she can be found performing with Nightingale Vocal Ensemble and will be featured on their world premiere album, "a new way to breathe" released later this year. In addition to her choral work she has recently found herself on the symphonic stage performing alongside Chorus Pro Musica with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9- featured on the esteemed stages of Boston Symphony Hall and Carnegie Hall. This spring she collaborated with the MIT Symphony chorus on their performance of Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time. Kristin was also the featured Alto soloist with the New Hampshire Symphony Orchestra as they celebrated their centinnial year with Mozart's Requiem.
This summer Kristin will join Bay View Music Festival as a Faculty Artist-in-Residence for their American Spirituals Intensive program. In previous seasons Kristin has served as a Teaching Artist Fellow with the Classical Music Institute in San Antonio, Texas. Additionally she spent two summers with the Prague Summer Nights Young Artist Music Festival (Washington D.C. residency) as Marcellina in their production of Le Nozze di Figaro and Dritte Dame in Die Zauberflöte. Her stage and solo work was showcased to directors of Washington National Opera's Young Artist Program, Glimmerglass Festival, and the Castleton Festival.
Named the “Nancy P. Marriott Scholar” Kristin received her Masters in Voice Performance from the Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, MA. She currently studies voice with Carol Mastrodomenico. In addition to her life as a performer Kristin fills the remainder of her time teaching music. She is a music faculty member at Wellesley College, teaching individual studio voice to both music and non-music majors.
Kristin firmly believes that her duty as both a performer and teacher is to give others a voice. Whether it’s serving as a conduit for the composer’s message or encouraging others to find their own, the world we live in needs more people to speak up, sing out, and be heard.
