Katelyn Aungst
Hailed by the Washington Post for her “supple, haunting soprano,” Katelyn G. Aungst performs as a featured soloist and chorister with intelligence, “particular purity of tone” (San Francisco Classical Voice), and grace.
Her choral and chamber experiences boast recording Dame Ethel Smyth's The Prison with the Experiential Orchestra & Chorus (2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album), and performances with The Thirteen, Clarion Music Society, Oregon Bach Festival, Third Practice, the U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants, Ensemble Altera, and Three Notch’d Road.
She has soloed with the American Bach Soloists (St. Matthew Passion), Washington Bach Consort (St. John Passion), the Nashville Symphony Orchestra (Messiah), the City Choir of Washington (Solomon, Dona Nobis Pacem, Lord Nelson Mass), the Washington Master Chorale (Out of the Ashes of Holocaust - premiere), and the Peabody Symphony Orchestra (Harmoniemesse, Great Mass in C Minor).
Theatrical highlights include the titular role in Purcell’s Fairy Queen and Norina in Don Pasquale. Ms. Aungst spent six years teaching in the Montgomery County Public Schools and served as the Assistant Artistic Director of the Six Degree Singers, a community choir based in Silver Spring, MD, from 2013-2019.
