Janna Baty

Among the numerous conductors with whom she has sung are James Levine, Seiji Ozawa, Michel Plasson, Carl Davis, Robert Spano, Steuart Bedford, Stephen Lord, Gil Rose, and Shinik Hahm.

Noted for her work in new music,[1] Baty has collaborated with many contemporary composers, among them John Harbison, Bernard Rands, Yehudi Wyner, Peter Child, Reza Vali, and Paul Moravec.

Baty has served as a professor of undergraduate and secondary voice at her alma mater, Yale School of Music, since 2008.

"[7] Baty's recordings include Reza Vali's Folk Songs;[8] Lukas Foss’s opera Griffelkin; the world-premiere recording of Eric Sawyer’s opera Our American Cousin;[9] and John Harbison's Mirabai Songs, all with Boston Modern Orchestra Project.

[11] In 2012, Baty performed in The Face by Donald Crockett, where The Boston Globe wrote that she "found a neat intersection of Broadway brass and the dark richness of opera's long list of mezzo-soprano antagonists" in her role as Infanta.
