From starting as a young artist with the Chautauqua Opera to a decade singing with Jane Glover and Music of the Baroque to building interactive opera installations for the Chicago Cultural Center, Maggie loves bringing performance to eclectic audiences from the Kennedy Center to the Chicago Lyric Opera to the Museum of Contemporary Art to public transit terminals across the USA.
Currently, Maggie is having a wild and wonderful time working on two new operas and their first full-length album. When not playing music, you’ll find Maggie under trees, in a library, at a lake, writing poems, or tinkering with their beloved collection of curious and whimsical toy instruments.
