Biography
A Fulbright scholar in Paris, soprano Laura Hynes has performed repertoire ranging from baroque opera with Les Arts Florissants to “classical cabaret” on French television and radio. She has performed opera roles, solo recitals, chamber music, new music, and concerts throughout Europe and North America, in venues including New York’s Alice Tully Hall, the Barbican in London, and the Châtelet and Cité de la Musique in Paris.
As Associate Professor of Voice at the University of Calgary, Hynes' research interests stretch across performance, pedagogy, and Alexander Technique. She has recently recorded works by Omar Daniel and John Corigliano with the Land’s End Ensemble and regularly premieres and champions new works by living composers. She was co-lead on a SSHRC Insight Development Grant in Research-Creation with the Key of T project on transgender voice transition, and she continues to develop her Raise Your Voice recitals at the intersection of song and social change.
Hynes holds degrees from the University of Minnesota (DMA) where she was the Carolyn Bailey and Dominick Argento Fellow, the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP, Cycle de perfectionnement), the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (MM), and Miami University (BM). She is also currently pursuing Alexander Technique teacher training through the Balance Arts Center in NYC.
