Cuban-American soprano, Jennifer Zamorano, has recently performed in a series of bel canto recitals in New York, NY, Boston, MA, Providence, RI, & Miami, FL. Prior to the pandemic, she performed the role of La Contessa Almaviva at the Center for Jewish History in NYC and critics commented "She shone in both arias --"Porgi amor" and "Dove sono", eliciting compassion in the midst of all that hilarity. Her instrument has a lovely vibrato and opens up beautifully in the upper register." Previously, she performed in the St. Hugh-Steinway Concert Series performing scenes from Lucia di Lammermoor, La Traviata and La Sonnambula. Critics commented that her performance "was brilliant, and bordering on perfection. Zamorano that night could be compared with some of the biggest divas of the moment". In recent years, she has performed with Opera Companies such as the Maryland Lyric Opera, Florida Grand Opera, Miami Music Festival, Des Moines Metro Opera, Opera New Jersey, Vero Beach Opera, Gold Coast Opera, Amici del'Arte, Pro Arte Grateli, Hispanic Lyric Theatre and the Miami Lyric Opera. Ms. Zamorano's most distinctive roles include: Norma in Bellini's Norma, Lucia in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, Contessa Almaviva in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata, Rosina in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, among others.
Described as "extraordinarily talented" by Houston Public Media, Tomás Jonsson is a highly sought-after pianist and composer on the Houston music scene. He serves as pianist and assistant music director for the youth service of The Fountain of Praise (combined weekly attendance of 8,000). His work at the Fountain of Praise has also given him invaluable mentorship from exceptional musicians deeply rooted in the Black Gospel tradition.
