Karen Jolicoeur: Home

In 2011/2012, Ms. Jolicoeur once again began the season in recital, presented by the Klavierhaus Concert Hall in her program, "Turn, Turn, Turn: The cycles of life in song, from the Belle Epoque to the present."  She will again appear on Golden Fleece/Composers Chamber Theatre's "Song New York" program in the spring, singing the works of Seymour Barab, Charles Coleman, Robert Mitchell, Lou Rodgers, Ned Rorem and Mira Spektor.

The 2010/2011 season also began with the presentation of "Turn, Turn, Turn..." by the Freeport Memorial Library on their Classical Concerts Series.  

In November and December 2010 she appeared in concert with Golden Fleece/Composers Chamber Theatre, first on their "Square One Series" featuring new works in process and then on their "Song New York" concert at the Greenwich House Music School.  

In spring 2011, Ms. Jolicoeur returned to the Center for Contemporary Opera, first in February for their gala benefit at the National Arts Club and then in April as Maria in Daniel Asia and Paul Pine's "The Tin Angel" at The Cell Theatre.

In the summer of 2011, she premiered the role of Eleanor in Lou Rodgers' new musical "Aquitaine Dialogues," again with Golden Fleece/Composers Chamber Theatre, as well as the role of Xansah in a reading of Geoffrey Kidde's new opera "The Machine Stops."

The 2009-2010 season began with Ms. Jolicoeur premiering a vocal dance piece, "Vocalise" by David Wolfson, on Movement Research's Open Performance program at Dance Theater Workshop. She then appeared with the Center for Contemporary Opera as Winnie in the premiere reading of Michael Dellaira and J.D. McClatchy's "The Secret Agent," and returned to CCO as Hester Prynne in a libretto reading of Carol Gilligan's "Pearl: An Opera Inspired by The Scarlet Letter."  

She reprised "Winnie's Lullaby" for the Center for Contemporary Opera's gala, and closed out the season with yet another premiere, the role of Lizzie in Thomas Carlo Bo's "Shadows of the City" with Golden Fleece in June.

Summer 2009 found Ms. Jolicoeur in London co-teaching a workshop in Integrative Performance Practice for the Experience Vocal Dance Company in July, and assisting the founder in a presentation on the method at the Association for Theater in Higher Education's "Risking Innovation" Conference in New York in August.
