Soprano Jennifer Goltz-Taylor specializes in the performance of new chamber music, opera, and cabaret. Her reputation for interpretive sensitivity, vocal virtuosity, musical precision, and analytical sophistication has inspired dozens of composers to write for her. She is a founding member of the new music ensemble Brave New Works and has appeared with the ensembles Present Music and Klangforum Wien; in the early 2000s, she fronted the Klezmer band Into the Freylakh, with whom she released two albums. She recorded the role of the god Pan in Kamran Ince’s opera Judgment of Midas for Naxos and can also be heard on Albany, Centaur, MSR Classics, AMP, and Blue Griffin Records. As a sought-after vocal pedagogue and music theorist, Dr. Goltz-Taylor has taught at Scripps College in Claremont, CA, and at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and has published articles on the derivation and meaning of extended vocal techniques and on narrative in music composed for television.
