Biography of
Julieanne Klein
 

Julieanne Klein was raised in New York, where she began studying the piano at the age of five, and voice at the age of twelve.  She continued her dual studies throughout the completion of her Bachelors of Music degree, which she received from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey.  During this time she worked extensively as an accompanist and vocal coach while pursuing her vocal career.

Ms. Klein is a versatile singer who has performed throughout the United States, both as a professional choral singer and as a soloist.  As a member of the select Westminster Choir, she has performed in numerous cities on the east coast, including New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina.  She has recorded both the Brahms Requiem and the Britten War Requiem with the New York Philharmonic under the tutelage of Kurt Masur (Teldec).  Broadcasts include an all Schubert and Brahms program on National Public Radio, and two Live from Lincoln Center performances.  Ms. Klein has also sung professionally with Opera Festival of New Jersey, The New York Choral Society and Opera Orchestra of New York.  Her solo career includes numerous recital and concert performances, in addition to public masterclasses with reknowned coaches Dalton Baldwin, Martin Katz, Alan Smith, Horst Günter, and Mikael Eliason.  She has performed much of the standard oratorio repertoire, including the Magnificat, St. John Passion, St. Matthew Passion, Messiah, and Israel in Egypt.  On the operatic stage she has performed the role of Elle in Francis Poulenc’s monologue opera La voix humaine, the New Prioress in Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites and Miss Jessel in Benjamin Britten’s Turn of the Screw.

In recent years, Julieanne has established herself as a proponent of new works.  She has premiered music by composers David Sampson, Karen Marolli, Corey Crawford, Eric Nussbaum and Nick Strimple.  In February she sang the music of Chris Dench in the Music of Changes concert series, a nonprofit organization established to assist contemporary composers with the presentation of their music.  This concert was filmed and recorded for future broadcast on Ovation, Knowledge, and Wisdom networks, cultural television channels, reaching a viewing audience of 25 million.  In March Ms. Klein will make her debut with the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony singing Toch’s Cantata of the Bitter Herbs.  Later this spring she will be performing Apparition by George Crumb, in addition to future engagements with Music of Changes.  Julieanne received her Masters of Music in Vocal Arts from the University of Southern California, where she is currently on staff as an academic advisor for the music department.
