With a voice described as “velvety” by La Nuova Ferrara and a B.A. with high honors from Princeton University, Rebecca Plack is creating a hybrid career that defies stereotypes. A song specialist who has given solo concerts in Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Canada and across the United States, she has been a vocal Fellow at the Aspen Music Festival and a research Fellow at the British Library. She has taught subjects ranging from Handel to heavy metal, and her students perform and sometimes transform canonical music, beat-boxing to Purcell on at least one occasion.

This season, she pours her passion for teaching and her fierce desire to reach audiences into the new recital series MUSIC MATTERS, which she co-founded. Is it moxie or madness that inspires this soprano to take audience requests? Check out MUSIC MATTERS – then you decide.
