Laura Decher Wayte
|
Bio--
Soprano Laura Decher Wayte has been performing traditional and
contemporary opera, orchestral pieces, choral, and chamber music for
over 10 years. She has performed roles and been the soloist with the
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, San Francisco Opera, Santa Fe
Symphony, Nevada Opera, Mendocino Music Festival, Berkeley Opera, and
Diablo Valley Symphony among others. She has also given many solo
recitals of art songs, including several world premiers of contemporary
compositions. In 2000, Ms. Wayte sang the world premier in Amsterdam
with The Nieuw Ensemble of a piece for voice and chamber orchestra
written by her husband, composer Lawrence Wayte. Her singing can be
heard on a recording of composer D’Arcy Reyhold’s music
entitled The Past Keeps Changing (Dharma Gate Music). Ms. Wayte’s
singing has been consistently praised for its lyric expressiveness and
rich tonal qualities. Originally from Seattle and a former newspaper
reporter for the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press, Laura graduated with
a Master's Degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where
she was awarded Outstanding Achievement in Opera Performance. She
recently moved with her family to Eugene, Oregon.
