Metropolitan Opera Soprano Meredith Hansen to Perform

Published: 2013-01-14 Meredith-Hansen-Headshot_350

The ENC Music Department will present a concert by Metropolitan Opera soprano Meredith Hansen at 7:00 pm Friday, January 25 in the Edith Cove Fine Arts Center.

A former vocal coach at ENC, Hansen’s program will include songs by Samuel Barber, Sigmund Romberg and other composers from the American Songbook, as well as selections from La Bohème and Die Fledermaus with internationally renowned tenor John Daniecki. She will collaborate with Dr. Brady Millican, pianist, chairman of the music department.

A Cohasset native, Hansen has performed as a soloist across America, singing with such prestigious groups as the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Rafael Frubeck de Burgos at both Symphony Hall and Carnegie Hall. She performed the role of Musetta in La Bohème with the Cedar Rapids Opera, and made her Metropolitan Opera House debut in 2012-2013 in the role of Woglinde in Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Ted Merek of the Boston Herald called her Boston Lyric Opera performance of Antonia in Les Contes d’Hofmann “a standout.”

General admission for the concert is $10 and free for ENC students. For more information, contact the Cove Fine Arts box office at 617-745-3715.
