Artists' bios:
Mary Hubbell, described in the New York Times as “a soprano with a sweetly focused tone,” holds degrees from Boston College; the University of California, Santa Barbara; and the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In the Netherlands, she was a frequent soloist with early music ensembles, and often appeared at the contemporary venues of the Young Composer’s Festival in Apeldoorn and the Gaudeamus Festival in Amsterdam. In the United States, orchestral engagements have included Mozart’s Exsultate, jubilate with the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra, Bach’s Cantata BWV 202 (“Wedding”) with Musica
Viva of New York, Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 with the Amherst College Orchestra, and Haydn’s Creation with the South Hadley Chorale. In 2016, she appeared as Katherine Wright in Jocelyn Hagen’s dance opera Test Pilot in Minnesota. She gave the New York premiere of Gregory W. Brown’s cantata Caliban in After-Life at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in March 2017. Ms. Hubbell is pursuing a DMA at the Graduate Center of CUNY and is an adjunct faculty member of Smith College and UMass-Amherst.
