Anne-Marie Lloyd, Soprano

Distinguished Major Voice Recital
April 3, 2016 - 8:00pm
Old Cabell Hall
Free

Anne-Marie Lloyd will be presenting her recital titled "Enduring Artistry, Forgotten Female Composers." This recital aims to showcase these women not as their commonly accepted roles as teacher, performer or conductor, but as the prestigious and coveted role of composer. The compositions by these women explore themes of death, regret, beauty, disdain, and passion through the language of art song. Largely overlooked in the standard repertoire of art song performance, it is a hope that these selections will allow the audience to become more familiar with the works of these women and encourage them to think more critically about all of the pieces written for female voices, but the startling lack of performance and compositions written by female composers. The recital will include works ranging from Baroque to 20th Century and will be sung in Italian, German, French and English.

Fourth year and a northern Virginia native, Anne-Marie is a voice student of Randall Ball and active choir member of University Singers and Chamber Singers. Serving previously as publicity chair for University Singers, fundraising chair for Opera Viva, and currently pursuing a second DMP in Arts Administration, Anne-Marie plans to pursue a graduate degree in the Fall of 2017 abroad, continuing her studies of voice.

This recital is supported by the Charles S. Roberts Scholarship Fund. Established in 2004 by the generosity of Mr. Alan Y. Roberts ('64) and Mrs. Sally G. Roberts, the Charles S. Roberts Scholarship Fund underwrites the private lessons and recital costs for undergraduate music majors giving a recital in their fourth year as part of a distinguished major program in music.
