Our host, Marissa Olegario
Known for her compelling and personality-driven performances, Marissa Olegario enjoys an active and diverse performance schedule as a soloist, chamber, and orchestral musician. Prof. Olegario has appeared in concerts at Avery Fisher Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center under conductors such as James Conlon, John Adams, Peter Oundjin, Rafael Payere and Leonard Slatkin. As an avid pit performer, Dr. Olegario has performed in productions including Puccini’s La Boheme and Madama Butterfly, Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Verdi’s La Traviata and Falstaff, as well as the world premiere of Derrick Wang’s American comic opera Scalia/Ginsberg. In an effort to marry a variety of art forms, Prof. Olegario has collaborated with the Martha Graham Dance Company in a production of The Rite of Spring, performed film scores including Jeff Beal’s original score to Buster Keaton’s silent film The General, and partnered with Dance for Parkinson’s to provide live music for people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Constantly seeking new artistic possibilities, Dr. Olegario’s performances have included multimedia collaborations with New York based projection designer Lisa Renkel and a commission of award-winning composer Shuying Li. Her other commissions include a duo for bassoon and bass clarinet, a new concerto by John Steinmetz, and a new solo piece by Aaron Houston. She has premiered new pieces at the 2021 Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Symposium and the 2021 International Double Reed Society Virtual Conference.
