Dr. Claire Vangelisti’s voice has graced both national and international concert and operatic stages, performing repertoire from Bach to Berg. In 1998, her international debut was well received in Lisbon, Portugal at the Centro Cultural de Belém where she presented a solo recital of twentieth-century American music. Invited to return to Lisbon the following year, Dr. Vangelisti toured in Portugal as concert soloist with the Orchestra Filarmonia das Beiras under the baton of Osvaldo Ferrierra, where her renderings of Mozart arias acquired extensive audience acclaim. In the Fall of 2002 while serving as Artist-in-Residence at the Universidád de Aveiro, in Aveiro, Portugal, Vangelisti performed an additional solo recital of American Twentieth-century Song which included the world premiere of Letting Go, a song cycle by Daron Hagen. In the U.S., Dr. Vangelisti has performed as concert soloist with organizations such as The San Antonio Symphony, The Temple Philharmonic Orchestra, The Laredo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Texas Chamber Consort, Austin Civic Orchestra, Austin Symphonic Band, the Austin Chamber Ensemble, and the Monroe Symphony Orchestra.  Her stage career includes appearances with Austin Lyric Opera, Lyric Opera of San Antonio, Southwest Opera, and The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Austin.  Vangelisti is an avid champion of the music of living American composers, and has subsequently collaborated with artists such as Libby Larsen, John Harbison, Daron Hagen, Lowell Liebermann, William Bolcom, and Jake Hegge. As a well-known educator and artist herself, she has presented lecture-recitals on a national and international level at the Texoma and Southern Regional National Association of Teachers of Singing conventions, and the Canadian University Music Society’s annual convention. Vangelisti has served as guest faculty at several institutions including I Curso Internacional de Música Vocal in Aveiro, Portugal, the Universidád de Aveiro, Portugal, The University of Houston, Texas State University, and The University of Miami at Coral Gables. She was an active member of the voice faculty at Southwestern University from 1996-2007, and she is currently Voice Area Coordinator/Associate Professor at University of Louisiana at Monroe.
