BIOGRAPHY

Jody's vibrant and refined soprano has been reviewed with enthusiasm throughout the NY region. Her versatility and flexibility as a singer and an actress have led her to perform in a wide range of venues, from musical theater to oratorio.

Jody has appeared as a soloist in many choral works including the Magnificats of Bach and Rutter, the Requiems of Brahms, Faure and Rutter, Haydn’s Theresienmesse and Kleine Orgelmesse, Beethoven’s Mass in C, Handel's Messiah and Vivaldi’s Gloria. She is a frequent guest soloist with Classic Choral Society under the direction of Janiece Kohler, recently performing Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem. This past summer she appeared in Naughty Operetta: the music of Romberg and Herbert with the Delaware Valley Opera under the direction of Jim Blanton. That production was so well received that it is being reprised in several regional concert series. She has also appeared at Alice Tully with the NYU Choral Arts Society and at Cami Hall in recital. Jody's musical theatre credits include the first national tour of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, directed by James Lapine in which she performed both Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. She has also toured Europe as Christine in Ken Hill’s operatic adaptation of Phantom of the Opera. Recently, she appeared as the soprano soloist in the Messiah at the West Point Cadet Chapel, conducted by Craig Williams.

In the fall of 2008, Jody will be performing in a recital to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and then appearing in Saint-Saens Christmas Oratorio.

A graduate of New York University with a degree in Voice and Theatre, as well as a master’s in Food Studies, and an alumnus of the Institute of Culinary Education, Jody has combined her performing experience with her knowledge of the culinary arts in several television food venues, as well as writing for numerous food publications and cookbooks.  She is currently a student of Susan Eichhorn-Young and is the soprano soloist at St. Mary’s church in Tuxedo Park, NY. Jody also maintains a private voice studio in Warwick, NY.
