We welcome soprano Amanda Powell, a multi-faceted artist equally at home under the lights on the orchestral concert stage and in the intimate clubs of the jazz and folk scenes. She has performed with the Cleveland-based, Grammy award winning ensemble Apollo’s Fire, and has been featured as a soloist on a number of staples of the baroque repertoire. Additionally, she is the lead singer of the group Alla Boara, which performs modern jazz arrangements of traditional Italian folk songs. Amanda also teaches voice at Cleveland State University and serves as Community Arts Liason for the Cultural Arts Center at Disciples Church in Cleveland Heights. We are thrilled to welcome Amanda to the Canton Symphony Orchestra twice this season - as our soprano soloist for Mozart’s Requiem, and with Alla Boara as part of our Divergent Sounds Series. We are delighted to welcome her here, to our podcast!
