Senior Thesis Recital: Augusta Caso '09, mezzo-soprano
03:20PM / Friday, April 10, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Williams College Department of Music will present a Senior Thesis Recital featuring Augusta Caso '09, mezzo-soprano on Sunday, April 26, 2009 at 3 p.m. in Chapin Hall on the Williams College campus.
This free event is open to the public.
Composers featured in this program are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky, Ambroise Thomas, and many more. There will be a reception following the recital. To see the full program, please visit http://music.williams.edu/node/972.
Augusta Caso, from Phoenix, Maryland, is a music major in her final semester at Williams College. Before Williams, she sang with the Peabody Children's Chorus for eight years and the Maryland All-Sate Chorus for four years, as well as in numerous school choirs. Since coming to Williams, Augusta has developed a passion for classical vocal performance and opera. She currently studies voice with Marlene Walt. She sings in both the Concert and Chamber Choirs (and is one of the student conductors of the choirs this year) and has had the opportunity to perform as a soloist with various other ensembles on campus.
In 2008, she played "Johanna" in Sweeney Todd with Cap n' Bells, and "The Nurse" and "Singer" in the Theater Department's fall production of Machinal. Besides music and performance, her other interests include languages and travel, reading, creative activities, yoga, and running. This past summer, Augusta spent five weeks in Germany studying at the Neil Semer Vocal Institute; this summer she will work in Albany with Heidi Skok at Resonanz. She is currently working on an honors thesis in vocal performance, for which she will give a recital in April. She will sing "Dorabella" in Williams Opera's performance of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte, and "Second Woman" in The New Opera's Dido and Aeneas, both in May. After Williams, Augusta plans to go on to graduate school to study vocal performance and opera.
