About the Artist
Equally at home in Mozart, German cabaret, Viennese operetta, contemporary American opera and early music, Jeannie Im has been lauded by Opera News for her “gorgeous line and touching intensity” and by the Süddeutsche Zeitung for her “warm, powerful soprano.”
Ms. Im’s concert work includes appearances as soloist at Carnegie Hall In Poulenc’s Gloria and John Rutter’s Requiem and Magnificat, soloist in Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem with the Grace & Spiritus Chorale of Brooklyn, and the Villa-Lobos Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 with the Yale Symphony Orchestra. She has made a specialty of championing music by composers who either died or were exiled from Germany and Austria during World War II, recently performing Five Songs for Soprano and String Quartet by Karl Weigl at the Caroga Lake Music Festival, in addition to numerous concerts of exiled composers under the auspices of Elysium-Between Two Continents in New York and throughout Europe.
Operatic highlights include Gloria in the Italian premiere of Krenek’s What Price confidence at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Beatrice/Antiope in the world premiere of Lustgarten’s Dante im Exil at the Elysium Bernried Festival, Fiordiligi with Underworld Productions at Symphony Space NY, Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier at the Altenburger Musikfestival, and Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare with Brooklyn Opera.
In addition to performing, Jeannie has worked as a director in theatre and opera: recently, she conceived and directed several programs for the Elysium-Between Two Continents International Summer Academy in Bernried, and for the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York City.
