Hailed by The New York Times, Julianne Baird, soprano, maintains a busy concert schedule of solo recitals and performances of Baroque opera and oratorio. With over 130 solo recordings to her credit on Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, Newport Classic and Dorian Recordings, Baird is considered one of America’s most recorded women. She has also appeared as soloist with many major symphony orchestras including The Cleveland Orchestra under Christoph von Dohnányi, the Brooklyn Philharmonic under Lukas Foss, the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta and The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Baird is recognised as one whose virtuosic vocal style is firmly rooted in scholarship, with degrees from the Eastman School of Music and a Diploma from the Mozarteum, Salzburg. She also earned a PhD in music history from Stanford University. Johann Friedrich Agricola’s Introduction to the Art of Singing (Cambridge University Press, 2006), which she edited and translated, is now its third printing, and is used by singers and professional schools internationally.
