Susan derry Guest Artist, Soprano An accomplished and versatile actor and singer noted for her “soaring soprano” and “striking theatricality” (The New York Times), Susan Derry is at home in a wide range of roles. She made her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival of Wonderful Town and performed the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera in Hamburg, Germany with the Neue Flora Theater. She garnered critical acclaim for her recent portrayal of Francesca Johnson in The Bridges of Madison County at Keegan Theatre in Washington DC; the Washington Post proclaimed” “the ace this staging is Susan Derry” and Broadway World called it the role of her career. Susan sang Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady with the Utah Symphony Orchestra opposite the late Peter Scolari as Professor Henry Higgins and recorded “Singing,” a song cycle by Gerald Ginsburg, based on the poetry of Langston Hughes in collaboration with pianist Paul Lincoln. She also made her Off-Off Broadway debut in The Shrill Collective’s world premiere of Megan Bussiere’s A Period Piece as Sam; the play was a finalist for the 2019 O’Neill National Playwrights Conference Prize. Other theatrical career highlights include Marian in The Music Man; Kate/Lilli in Kiss Me Kate; Desdemona in Othello; Fiona in Brigadoon; Meg in Crimes of the Heart; Helen in Saturday Night; Agnes in I Do! I Do!; Betty Schaeffer in Sunset Boulevard; Betty in White Christmas, and Gwendolen in The Importance of Being Earnest. Susan has professional experience in opera, as well, premiering the role of Olivia in Gary Glickmans’ adaptation of Twelfth Night with American Opera Projects and singing Jessica in the American premiere of Reynaldo Hahn’s The Merchant of Venice with Portland Opera. Susan was the centerpiece of the Bold New Works series in Virginia, an initiative to create world-premiere musicals; her performance in the first piece, a new version of The Turn of the Screw, was hailed as “brilliant.” Since then, she has earned accolades as Mary Shelley in Monsters of the Villa Diodati; as a daughter struggling with her mother’s decline from Alzheimer’s in Kaleidoscope and as a hard-edged single mother in Witch, based on the #MeToo movement. All four works feature Susan prominently on the cast albums. In a concert setting, Susan headlined as a guest soloist at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops on an evening of Frank Loesser’s music under the direction of Rob Fisher and the late, great Skitch Henderson. She also has the esteemed honor of appearing in the Encores! Series at New York City Center eleven times. Additionally, she has performed with the New York Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall’s Community Sings series, the Lawton Symphony, the Palm Beach Orchestra, in Kennedy Center galas, Sondheim Award galas, and with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in Leonard Bernstein’s Mass conducted by Marin Alsop. Solo work includes three one-woman evenings: It’s Got to Be Love, about finding happiness among the high notes, I Wish It So, a holiday evening, and Days and Dazed, a look at how anything can happen in the busy middle of your life. A champion of new works, Susan Derry co-founded Urban Arias, DC’s contemporary opera company, in 2009 and continues to amplify their message of excellence and accessibility in DC and beyond by serving as Board President. Susan earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Northwestern University and a Master of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music. She serves as an adjunct professor of voice at American University and has a thriving private studio. She lives in the DC area with her husband.

president’s message Deborah Stapley-Graham Welcome to My Fair Broadway! There’s a bright, golden haze on the meadow and June is busting out all over. What a wonderful concert to finish out our 2021-2022 season. This past season has been filled with rich experiences of familiar and new music. It has been a treat to hear classics by Beethoven and Saint-Saens side by side with music by contemporary composers such as Jessie Montgomery and Missy Mazzoli. The season’s repertoire has been a wellbalanced offering of comfort and adventure. I offer a hearty Thank You to our Music Director, Julia Tai, for planning a wonderful musical program and for finding exceptional guest artists to perform with our Symphony. As I reflect on the past season, I’m grateful for the normalcy that is slowly returning to our everyday lives. I’m in awe of our musicians who exhibited sheer dedication last season by continuing to rehearse and perform even as Covid variants emerged unexpectedly, fostering confusion and sometimes, fear. I extend my gratitude to our musicians, chorale members, and to both Julia Tai and Dean Peterson for having navigated those unknown waters and for exercising flexibility and ingenuity in finding ways to rehearse and perform safely. Thank you for bringing us an incredible series of concerts! Enjoy tonight’s concert!
