Heidelberg Lieder Festival, Germany with pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz

Soprano Jenavieve Moore is a singer on the Opera Course at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama (GSMD), in London, UK.

Originally from Oliver, after many years of study with Helga Tucker, she moved to England to study with the renowned singer, Yvonne Kenny. Jenavieve is also an accomplished pianist and flautist, having studied piano with Susan Gay and Roslyn Franz, and flute with Antonia Mahon, while growing up in the Okanagan. She holds two Performance A.R.C.T. diplomas from the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto).

She has won top prizes at many competitions including the Susan Longfield Competition, the Dean & Chadlington Festival Competition, the GSMD Aria Prize, the Canadian Music Competition, and the National Kiwanis Festival (Canada), and has been featured as a soloist with many prominent orchestras in both Canada and abroad. Masterclasses have included working with Thomas Hampson, Barbara Bonney, Wolfram Rieger, Dame Emma Kirkby, Sarah Walker, Roger Vignoles, and Joan Rogers.

Equally at home on the opera and concert stage, Jenavieve has performed across North America and Europe, with operatic role and scene credits including Judith Wier’s one-woman opera King Harald’s Saga, Birtwistle’s Yan Tan Tethera (Hannah), Bizet’s Carmen (Micaëla), Massenet’s Manon (Manon), Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress (Ann Trulove), Humperdink’s Hänsel und Gretel (Sandmann), Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Donna Anna), and also Die Zauberflöte (Pamina, First Lady).

She is regularly featured on BBC Radio 3 in connection with their New Music Immersion concerts; previous events and recordings have included Brett Dean’s ‘Wolf-Lieder’ concerto for soprano and orchestra in Barbican Hall, and Arvo Pärt’s ‘Stabat Mater’. In September, Jenavieve stepped in on the day with only a few hours’ notice, to sing the soprano solo in Verdi’s Requiem, in Barbican Hall, for the season’s opening concert. Upcoming engagements include an Opera Scenes tour with GSMD in Shanghai, and Mozart Oratorio engagements in Switzerland and Germany.
