Teresa Wakim
Lauded as “a fine baroque stylist,” soprano Teresa Wakim is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory and of Boston University and has received written praise from such publications as Early Music America, the Miami Herald, the Boston Globe, and the New York Times. She is featured on two Grammy-nominated recordings of Lully operas, Thésée and Psyché, with the Boston Early Music Festival, and appeared with them at the 2009 Festival as Diane in Charpentier’s Actéon. Recent engagements include the role of Lisbeth in Mendelssohn’s opera Son and Stranger with Masterworks Chorale, soloist in the premiere of Paul Crabtree’s Sedebat Mater in Florida with Seraphic Fire, Boccherini’s Stabat Mater with Bourbon Baroque in Louisville, Mozart’s C Minor Mass at Symphony Hall under the baton of Craig Jessop, and several solo appearances last season with the Handel & Haydn Society, including Bach’s Magnificat and Purcell’s Dioclesian. Also an advocate for new music, Ms. Wakim appears this season as soloist in Robert Stern’s oratorio Shofar with Coro Allegro, Jannefelt’s Villarosa Sequences with The Boston Choral Ensemble, and the title role in Steven Jobe’s opera, Jeanne d’Arc in Rhode Island in May.
