A remarkably rich mezzo voice and eye-catching stage presence have vaulted Michelle DeYoung into the forefront of her generation of vocalists. Since graduating from the Met's Young Artists Program, she has performed with some of the world's most illustrious orchestras and has been in increasing demand as a recitalist and concert artist. Familiar to Bay Area audiences from her numerous critically acclaimed performances with the San Francisco Symphony, "she wields a voice of uncommon power and beauty, joining a rich, throaty timbre to seemingly tireless strength," says the San Francisco Chronicle.
