Clara Osowski, who sings "from inside the music with unaffected purity and sincerity" (UK Telegraph), is an active soloist and chamber musician throughout the USA and Europe. Her 2023-24 season included Schubert lieder with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Bach's St. John Passion with the South Carolina Bach Choir, Mozart Mass in C minor, Elgar's Dream of Gerontius, and Mass in B minor. Recent engagements include a London debut at Wigmore Hall and Mrs. Herring in Albert Herring with the Minnesota Opera.
Jamie Schmidt is a freelance collaborative pianist, organist, teacher, and vocal coach in the Twin City area.
Composer Linda Kachelmeier has a special passion for art song and choral music because of their capacity to convey emotion through the voice. She says: I am enthralled by the line and curve of melody and rich, rhythmic texture and layers. She is influenced by medieval chant and polyphony to gospel and folk writes for children, professionals and all levels in between.
