Faculty Recital Heath & O'Flynn

Presented by Utah Valley University School of the Arts at Noorda Center for the Performing Arts

Our amazing faculty kick off the season for the Music Department with a faculty recital with Melissa Heath and Dr. Jeffrey O’Flynn. It will be a wonderful evening of music for voice and woodwind.
Soprano Melissa Heath enjoys a varied career of opera, concert and recital work. Hailed as a "soaring, sparkling soprano" with "vivacious stage presence", recent opera roles include Countess in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro and Micaela in Bizet's Carmen. Recent concert work includes Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem and both Mozart's Requiem and Mass in c minor with the Temple Square Chorale and Orchestra at Temple Square, Handel's Messiah with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and both Mozart's Exsultate, jubilate and Barber's Knoxville, Summer of 1915 with Sinfonia Salt Lake. With Utah Symphony, Ms. Heath has performed both Nielsen's Symphony no. 3 and Handel's Messiah. In November 2017 she was the soprano soloist with Ballet West in choreographer Nicolo Fonte's world premiere of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. In 2018 Ms. Heath had the pleasure of singing songs of Messiaen and Schubert on NOVA Chamber Music Series' season finale concert and performed recitals in Seattle and New York.
