Soprano Judith Kellock

has been described in the press as "a singer of rare intelligence and vocal splendor, with a voice of indescribable beauty."  A primary influence in her musical life was the late Jan DeGaetani, with whom she studied for many years.  Other teachers have included Grace Hunter, Hazel O'Donnell, Phyllis Curtin at Tanglewood, and Wilma Thompson at Boston University.

Ms. Kellock has been featured with the St. Louis Symphony, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the New World Symphony, the Honolulu Symphony, the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, the Greek Radio Orchestra, the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, the West Virginia Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series, and orchestras throughout New England.  At the Aspen Festival she has been soloist with the Symphony Orchestra as well as in chamber music and oratorio. Other festival performances include Monadnock, Arcady Stockbridge Chamber Concerts, the Music Festival of the Hamptons, and songFest, a performance and training program in southern California.  Highly acclaimed for her song recitals and chamber music performances, she is also sought after by composers for her interpretation of contemporary music. She is a founding member of the new music group Ensemble X, whose music director is composer Steven Stucky.  Ms. Kellock's residency in Prague included recitals of German Lieder and American art song with pianist Phillip Moll, as well as master classes and lectures at the Prague Conservatory. As a recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts recitalist fellowship, she toured the West Coast with a variety of programs.

Ms. Kellock has sung major operatic roles in Italy and Greece, toured with the Opera Company of Boston and performed with the Mark Morris Dance Company at the Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels.  This summer she performed and recorded The Astronaut's Tale by Charles Fussell at the Monadnock Festival, and sang the role of Madame Herz in Mozart's The Impresario at the Music Festival of the Hamptons, in a version translated and revised by Lukas Foss.  She has recorded for Koch International, Turnabout, Sine Qua Non, Fleur de Son, Albany and Gasparo labels.  Upcoming releases include songs of Samuel Barber, music of Steven Stucky, Charles Fussell and Judith Weir. 

Ms. Kellock serves on the performing faculty of Cornell University, and is much in demand as a master class teacher.  She is also on the board of directors of the Lotte Lehman Foundation.
