Elizabeth Keusch

Guest Artist

American soprano Elizabeth Keusch is rapidly emerging as an artist to watch. She has performed at Disney Hall with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in works by Castiglioni and Kurtág and at the Seattle Chamber Players' Icebreaker III festival. Keusch made her Arizona Opera debut as Polly Peachum in Bernard Uzan's 2005 production of Kurt Weill's The Threepenny Opera. That season also saw her debut with the Choral Arts Society of Washington (D.C.) in Mozart's Requiem and with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra in Elliott Carter's Tempo e tempi. In spring 2005 she performed Elijah with Helmuth Rilling in her Seattle Symphony debut. Successive engagements with maestro Rilling since 2003 include Handel's Belshazzar (role of Nitocris), Jeptha (Iphis), and Saul (Merab) as well as Bach's Magnificat, Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem, Mozart's Requiem and C Minor Mass, Mendelssohn's Elijah, and, in 2008‒09, Britten's War Requiem. Other notable engagements that season included a recital at New York's 92nd Street Y in celebration of Maurice Sendak, an appearance with the Asheville Choral Society in Vaughan Williams's Sea Symphony, and a performance with Boston Musica Viva in Chris Arrell's All Fall Down. Highlights of her 2009‒2010 season include Helmut Lachenmann's got lost at the ECLAT Festival Neue Musik Stuttgart and performances of Mozart's Requiem and Haydn's Mass No. 10 in C Major (Paukenmesse) with the National Chorale at New York's Avery Fisher Hall.
