Honored with the “Outstanding First Year Apprentice Award” in 2025 by the Santa Fe Opera, American bass Alan Williams is establishing himself as one of the most exciting young artists in the field of opera. During the 2025-26 season, he made debuts with the Pittsburgh Opera as Colline in La Bohème with Music Director Antony Walker on the podium; American Symphony Orchestra as bass soloist in Bristow’s Niagara Symphony led by Leon Botstein at Carnegie Hall; and New York Philharmonic joining Eugene Rogers’ Exigence Vocal Ensemble to sing Saariaho’s Oltra mar with composer and conductor Thomas Adès on the podium at David Geffen Hall.

Praised for his “lovely tone and deep expressivity” by The New York Times, GRAMMY® nominated tenor Brian Giebler radiates “shine and clarity” (Opera News) in every phrase using “his high-placed tenor with great skill” (Opera Magazine). His debut solo album a lad's love garnered high praise from such publications as Gramophone, Opera News (Critics Choice), and San Francisco Classical Voice, and earned him his first GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album. 

Mezzo-soprano Ashley Dixon is a Grand Finals Winner of The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and a former Adler Fellow with San Francisco Opera. She made her critically acclaimed debut with LA Opera in Roberto Devereux (Sara) under the baton of Eun Sun Kim and alongside bel canto veterans Ramon Vargas and Angela Meade.

American soprano Rabihah Davis Dunn is celebrated for her radiant timbre, expressive depth, and stylistic versatility across opera, oratorio, and contemporary choral repertoire. The 2025–2026 season marks an exciting series of major milestones, including an appearance as soprano soloist with Pacific Symphony in Handel’s Messiah and with Pacific Chorale in Poulenc’s Gloria. The same concert includes the world premiere of Jocelyn Hagen’s What the Soul Already Knows. 

Jocelyn Hagen composes music that has been described as “simply magical” (Fanfare Magazine) and “dramatic and deeply moving” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis/St. Paul). She is a pioneer in the field of composition, pushing the expectations of musicians and audiences with large-scale multimedia works, electro-acoustic music, dance, opera, and publishing.
