About the Performers:
Hailed by The New York Times for her “beautiful tone and a graceful sense of phrasing,” soprano Lori Guilbeau triumphed as a grand prize winner of the 2010 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Her engagements in this and coming seasons include Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with The Atlanta Opera, Richard Strauss’s Vier letzte Lieder with Monterey Symphony, and Verdi’s Requiem with The Arts Association of East Alabama.
Pianist Kevin Murphy has been Director of Music Administration at New York City Opera since September 2008. Prior to joining that organization, he was appointed by Gerard Mortier as Directeur des études musicales at the Opéra national de Paris. In 1992, Murphy was invited by James Levine as the first pianist to enter the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, and he continued at the Met as an assistant conductor from 1993 until 2006.
