Soprano Mira Fu-En Huang uses her voice to veer off the beaten path and bring lesser-told stories to the forefront. Her repertory sprawls across cultures and eras, from folk music, to medieval motets, to the works of living composers.
Hailed for her vocal control and light silver voice, Mira especially enjoys bringing life to underrepresented stories from early and modern eras. She has performed as Semele in Handel’s opera of the same name, Cupid in Blow’s Venus and Adonis, Euridice in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, and Belinda in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. She also enjoys regular collaborations with living composers across the US.
Mira obtained an M.M. in Historical Performance from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, studying under Ah Young Hong. She also received undergraduate degrees in Vocal Performance and Psychology, as well as a minor in English, from the University of California, Davis. She has been coached by a variety of early and new music specialists, including Quince Ensemble, Roomful of Teeth, and Dame Emma Kirkby.
Currently, Mira works as a freelance soprano and administrator in Maryland, and she enjoys researching, reading, and writing in numerous genres. In her free time, she can be found playing flute and viola da gamba, drinking excessive amounts of coffee, and writing in various book-filled locales.
