Margaret Lattimore, mezzo-soprano.

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up May 2012 Grammy nominated mezzo-soprano Margaret Lattimore has been praised for her "glorious instrument" and as an "undisputed star...who has it all – looks, intelligence, musicianship, personality, technique, and a voice of bewitching amber color." (The Boston Globe) While she began her career singing the florid works Handel, Rossini and Mozart, Ms. Lattimore expanded her repertoire in recent seasons to include the works of Mahler, Verdi and Wagner making her one of the most versatile mezzo sopranos performing today. In January of 2011, The Houston Chronicle wrote of her performance in Verdi’s Requiem "Mezzo-soprano Margaret Lattimore's vocals were distinguished by her rare intensity, gleaming pure tone and strong dramatic instincts." A few weeks prior, Ms. Lattimore’s Philadelphia Orchestra debut was praised by David Patrick Sterns of The Philadelphia Inquirer as having "touched the soul of what she sang in Handel's high-rhetoric recitatives, which she sings better than most anybody." New music has always been central to Margaret Lattimore's career and she has been honored to work with some the most gifted American composers in the 20th and 21st centuries including Jake Heggie, Ricky Ian Gordon, Nico Muhly, John Musto, Stephen Paulus, Daniel Kellogg and Lawrence Siegel. It was as a student at the Tanglewood Music Center that Ms. Lattimore first began to nurture her love and commitment to contemporary music and where she was fortunate to work with composer John Harbison. This auspicious meeting has lead to an enduring artistic collaboration in which she starred as Jordan Baker in Mr. Harbison's Great Gatsby at the Metropolitan Opera, sang his Four Psalms at Carnegie Hall and recorded his Due Libri from Motetti di Montale for Koch International leading to her 2006 Grammy nomination. Ms. Lattimore has appeared at the Mostly Mozart Festival, Chicago's Ravina Festival, the Covent Garden Festival, the Tanglewood Music Festival, New York's Morgan Library, the 92nd Street Y, Weill Recital Hall, the Windham Chamber Music Festival and The Library of Congress. She has been a guest artist with some of the North America’s most prestigious orchestras including The New York Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque, Boston Baroque, Indianapolis Symphony, the New World Symphony, Houston Symphony and the Hong Kong Philharmonic with conductors that include James Levine, Bernard Haitink, Kurt Masur, James Conlon, Louis Langrée, Hans Graf, Andrew Davis, Michael Tilson Thomas, Rafael Führbeck de Burgos, Steuart Bedford, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Sir David Wilcocks, Grant Llewellyn, Raymond Leopard and Nicholas McGeagan. After winning the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions at the age of 24, Margaret Lattimore became a member of the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. In October of that same year, she made her Metropolitan Opera debut as Dorotea in Stiffelio with Placido Domingo and later appeared the in the opera’s PBS Great Performances broadcast as well as that of Madama Butterfly. She would go on to sing many roles at the Met including Meg Page in Falstaff and Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby both under the baton of the James Levine. She has also performed with New York City Opera, Washington Opera, Dallas Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Netherlands Opera, Florida Grand Opera, Central City Opera, San Diego Opera and Austin Lyric Opera, amongst others. Ms Lattimore's 2011-2012 season includes her debut in the world premiere of Nico Muhly's Dark Sisters with Opera Company of Philadelphia and Gotham Chamber Opera, Verdi Requiem at New York's Lincoln Center and with The Bach Festival Society, Brahms Alto Rhapsody and Beethoven Symphony #9 with Orquestra Sinfonica Nacional in Mexico City, Mozart Requiem with the Louisiana Symphony and the world premiere of Daniel Kellogg’s Everlasting to Everlasting with the South Dakota Symphony. Ms. Lattimore's recent engagements include Messiah with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Verdi Requiem with the Houston Symphony and Temple University, Berenice with the American Symphony at Carnegie Hall, the Mozart Mass in C minor in Eugene Oregon, Brahms Alto Rhapsody and Brukner Te Deum with the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, Lawrence Siegel's Kaddish with the Houston Symphony, Rossini's Stabat Mater with the San Antonio Symphony and Haydn's Paukenmesse with the Sinfonica Nacional de Mexico. Margaret Lattimore is a graduate of the Crane School of Music at the State University of New York at Potsdam where she met her voice teacher, Patricia Misslin. She is a winner of the Eleanor McCollum Award from the Houston Grand Opera Studio, a Jacobson Study Grant from the Richard Tucker Foundation and the prestigious Vienna Award from the George London Foundation.
