Abigail Haynes Lennox
Vocal Coach & Counselor
Acclaimed as angelic and stylish in her interpretations of Bach and Mozart, Abigail is equally at home with genres ranging from early plainchant to 19th-century mélodie to improvised avant-garde. Originally from Bartlett, Tennessee, she moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan where, after finishing her bachelor’s degree in vocal performance at the University of Michigan, she served as music director for the Wesley Foundation of First Methodist, performed with the Michigan Opera Theater under Stephen Lord, and was a frequent soloist appearing on premier recordings of contemporary works. In May 2007, Abigail completed her master’s degree in voice at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music where she studied under James Taylor, Ted Taylor, and Judith Malafronte. In addition to participating in master classes with Martin Katz, Stephen Layton, and David Daniels, she has performed as soloist in Bach’s St. John Passion and Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu nostri under Simon Carrington, Mozart Vespers with Sir David Willcocks and again with Sir Neville Marriner, Bach’s Magnificat in E-flat Major with Helmuth Rilling, Beethoven’s Mass in C and multiple Bach cantatas with Yale ensembles, and a program of French Baroque music with the Ensemble Européen William Byrd. She made her debut with American Bach Soloists as a soloist in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in January 2007, and returned this season to perform Bach's Mass in B Minor in January and Handel's Laudate pueri in May. Inspired by such ensemble experiences, Abigail enjoys teaching young musicians and engaging in collaborative projects with fellow artists in addition to pursuing a solo career. She is thrilled to be returning to the St. Thomas Girl Chorister Course as voice instructor. The week spent with such talented young women is the highlight of her summer.
