Taylor performed as soprano soloist in the Flat Rock Playhouse’s “A Celtic Christmas” in December 2012. Asheville Lyric Opera accompanist Vance Reese will accompany Taylor.
The concert will feature songs that audiences know and love from a wide range of Broadway hit shows, including “Funny Girl,” “The Music Man,” “The Sound of Music,” “Kismet” and many more. There will be a few contemporary favorites mixed in, so audiences will also enjoy some of the best songs from composers Kurt Weill, George Gershwin and Duke Ellington.
An Asheville native now living near Nashville, Taylor has appeared in oratorio, concert, musical theater and opera performances throughout the North and Southeast. She earned a Master of Music degree in vocal performance from The New England Conservatory in Boston, where she studied voice and pedagogy under Mark St. Laurent. Her Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance is from Furman University, where she studied with mezzo-soprano Trudy Hines Fuller.
In the WNC area, in addition to her 2012 Christmas performance with the Flat Rock Playhouse, Taylor has performed several times with the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre and the Asheville Lyric Opera. She was also the headlining soloist in the 2010 Asheville Bravo Concert’s “Arts in the Garden”
