From the old normalcy, to pleas for peace; from redemption to the establishment of a new normal. The Academy’s January 2021 (now February 2021) performance, featuring Margaret Carpenter Haigh, follows the path of the pandemic while looking to older poetic and musical sources. Music by Handel, Scarlatti, Castello, and Merula.

Soloist Biography: Margaret Carpenter Haigh
Praised as “fiery, wild, and dangerous” (Classical Voice North Carolina) with “a talent for character portrayal” (Chicago Classical Review), soprano Margaret Carpenter Haigh captivates audiences with her “flawless intonation” and “perfect vocalism” (CNVC). Her dazzling technique and formidable skills as a collaborative artist shine in performances of repertoire spanning from the Renaissance and Baroque to the modern day. She can be heard regularly with some of the nation’s premier ensembles including The Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Handel and Haydn Society, Bach Akademie Charlotte, and Apollo’s Fire. She is co-artistic director of L’Académie du Roi Soleil, with which she has performed in venues across the United States and the United Kingdom. Margaret holds degrees from Case Western Reserve University; the University of Cambridge, where she was a Gates Cambridge Scholar; and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is active as an educator, teaching voice and leading workshops nationwide on physical gesture for singers. More at www.margaretcarpenterhaigh.com.
