THE VILLAGE NEWS ALUMNI APPLAUSE Jacqueline Echols (MM Voice, 2012; AD Opera, 2013) will make her debut with the Metropolitan Opera this November in the role of Musetta in Puccini’s classic opera, La bohème. Earlier this season, she performed the title role in Verdi’s La Traviata with the Washington National Opera. While her credits include a multitude of operatic and symphonic performances, CCM audiences may remember Echols’ starring roles in the 2012 production of The Rake’s Progress or the 2013 production of The Magic Flute. She has also performed in numerous productions with Cincinnati Opera. Ashley Fabian (MM Voice, 2017) is a second-year resident with the Pittsburgh Opera, where she recently sang the role of Gretel in Humperdinck’s Hansel & Gretel. This season, she also appears as Ilia in a re-imagined Idomeneo and Younger Alyce in Glory Denied. Fabian has also performed with the Cincinnati Opera, Virginia Arts Festival, Central City Opera and more, and she is a recent winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council’s Encouragement Award and of the Orpheus Vocal Competition. Melissa Harvey (BM Voice, 2009; MM Voice, 2011) just finished performing the role of Drusilla in The Coronation of Poppea with Milwaukee’s Florentine Opera Company, a production directed by CCM Opera Chair Robin Guarino. This summer, Cincinnati audiences can see Harvey as Echo in the Cincinnati Opera production of Ariadne auf Naxos. She has also recently performed with Opera Columbus, the Catacoustic Consort, Gotham Chamber Opera and Opera Philadelphia. In 2009, Harvey received an Encouragement Award from the Metropolitan Opera National Council Regional Auditions. Thomas Kernan (MM Music History, 2010; PhD Musicology, 2014) has been awarded the 2019–20 Rudolph Ganz Long-term Fellowship in American Music by the Newberry Library. No stranger to awards, Kernan also won the Abraham Lincoln Institute Hay-Nicolay Dissertation Prize for his doctoral dissertation entitled “Sounding ‘The Mystic Chords of Memory:’ Musical Memorials for Abraham Lincoln, 1865–2009.” Kernan currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Music History at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts and leads the university’s Honors Bachelor of Musical Arts Program.
