SARAH COYL, violin – Heralded by Reno Arts News for her "tender" playing, Sarah Coyl enjoys a diverse musical career playing and teaching violin and viola. She is a member of the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra and an instructor of violin at UNR. As an emerging chamber musician, she has performed on viola with world-renowned pianist Joyce Yang. She earned her Master’s degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, where she won the chance to play the Sibelius Violin Concerto with the University Orchestra. Coyl has collaborated with folk and rock bands, even performing with Michael Bolton and Johnny Mathis. Her latest endeavor is an album project of her own arrangements of music from Tchaikovsky’s ballets, arranged for violin and guitar.
MADISON HATTEN, soprano - Hailed for her “exquisite voice” and “a joy to behold”, Madison is most recently recognized for her debut as Mimì in La bohème (Northern Light Music Festival) and her Mozartian trio as Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni (Boston Opera Collaborative), Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro (Janiec Opera Company), and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutti (Boston Conservatory Opera) where she revealed “her fine sense of pitch that gave unusual accuracy and delicacy to her coloratura possibilities” while exuding "an exciting physicality in her performances".
With her expansive vocal range, she has been most recently heard in the concert hall as the featured soloist for both Ravel’s Shéhérazade with Pioneer Valley Symphony, Mozart’s Requiem, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah with Toccata-Tahoe Symphony Orchestra. Notable roles in Madison's repertoire also include Michaela in Carmen, Frau Fluth in Die Lustige Weibe von Windsor von Windsor, and the title role in Tchaikovsky's Iolanta (cover). As a California native, Madison’s singing career spans coast to coast, performing for various opera companies, musical groups, and festivals.
