About Annie

Baltimore City
Praised for “astounding technical vocal ability, solid song interpretation and stage presence,” soprano Annie Gill continues to gain recognition as a distinctive and versatile artist.  Particularly excelling in the repertoire of Mozart and Puccini, Ms. Gill has been commended for "a glorious voice - opulent from top to bottom,” and possesses an extensive variety of vocal colors in her expressive full lyric soprano.

Though all artistic fields have changed dramatically in the past… more

Písně Lásky a Naděje – Songs of Love and Hope

Soprano Annie Gill, together with pianist Andrew Stewart, perform a program of Czech and Slovak folk songs, art songs, and opera arias.  These works explore the human condition through the many ways we express our love for each other.  The artists have previously performed this repertoire in recitals throughout the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. area, and most recently for The Woman's Club of Roland Park in Baltimore city.  

The mission of this project is to preserve and promote Czech and Slovak music.  This repertoire reaches beyond the span of standard classical music and is not widely performed.  Through this program, the artists aspire to celebrate Czech and Slovak culture and preserve, but also introduce, unique repertoire that is not performed often.

They submitted the program to the Orpheus Classical record label for recording consideration in April, 2020.
The Orpheus Classical artistic commission in Europe and America unanimously accepted the recording project based on the artists’ outstanding talent and distinctive artistic personalities.  The commission granted a sponsorship proposal consisting of 75% of the production costs related to recording the repertoire for an album.  The album has a tentative release date in August, 2021.

This album will showcase the work of Baltimore artists in every facet:  musicians Annie Gill and Andrew Stewart live and work in Baltimore, as do project recording engineer David Sexton, master recording engineer Ed Tetrault, and project photography by Roy Cox.  Through the digital release of this project, the work of Baltimore artists will reach an international audience.

Ms. Gill is an avid performer of Czech and Slovak repertoire, having roots in the Slovak culture through her mother’s family, the Karaffas.  Originally from the village of Livov (in the Prešov Region of north-east Slovakia), the Karaffas immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s.  Although she grew up with many Slovak traditions during her childhood, Ms. Gill began a more intensive study of Czech and Slovak repertoire when she incorporated the songs of Dvořák into her Winner’s Recital performance as the top Prize Winner in the 2012 Art Song Festival of Toledo, OH.  Ms. Gill was then invited by festival faculty member Dr. Timothy Cheek, a prominent Czech-language vocal coach and author of Singing in Czech:  A Guide to Czech Lyric Diction and Vocal Repertoire, for further study in the Czech Republic.  In 2013, Ms. Gill attended the Moravian Masterclass in Brno, where she worked with Dr. Cheek and Mirka Zemanová (a Czech language coach and musicologist).

Pianist Andrew Stewart grew up in California and has been based in Baltimore since 2000.  Much in demand as a soloist and collaborative artist, he has worked with countless singers and instrumentalists; premiered works by composers including Garth Baxter, Hollis Thoms, and John Belkot; and performed with a great many organizations, among them the Bach Society of Baltimore, OperaBelle, the Atlantic Guitar Quartet, Assisi Performing Arts in Italy, and most recently the Choirs of Goucher College and the Annapolis Choral.  He is featured on the album Katherine Keem Sings Songs and Arias by Garth Baxter, released in 2014 on Centaur Records, as well as Ask the Moon, released in early 2018.  Mr. Stewart has been associated with the Lyric Opera of Baltimore for well over a decade, giving upwards of seventy performances a year as part of its education component and teaching on the faculty of the Lyric Opera Camp.  He is also the creator of several shows including “Opera Games,” a much-requested interactive program about the basics of opera, and has appeared on Maryland Public Television in the short film “Opera Magica” which he produced with educator Evon Hewitt, Jr.  Additionally he maintains a busy schedule as a theatrical musical director, having led more than forty productions since 2006.  Mr. Stewart studied with Charles Asche at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and with Marian Hahn at the Peabody Conservatory.  Other teachers include Marie Brown Curea, and Sharon Mann.

One of my favorite composers in any genre or language, Dvořak wrote these songs (Op. 83) after falling in love with his piano student, Josefina Čermáková. These songs were very personal for Dvořak: they were the first songs he ever wrote, and they illustrate feelings of deep, passionate, all-consuming love with plaintive melodies and luscious accompaniments.

Baltimore Musicales

Experience the power of the human voice.  Baltimore's finest singers present art songs, arias, and vocal chamber music in an intimate and relaxed setting.

A Musicale:  a social entertainment with music as the leading feature.  A musical gathering or concert, typically small and informal.

Ms. Gill has been involved in the Baltimore Musicales organization since its beginning performances in the Spring of 2014.  Since that time, the organization has produced over seventy concerts, consisting of mainstage performances, outreach conerts for both school-aged children and senior living communities, and specialty concerts in some of the most unique venues the city of Baltimore has to offer.  Breaking the traditional boundaries between concert-goers and performers, the artists of the Musicales share interesting biographical information about the composers and poets, and provide historical and literary contexts.  This allows the listeners in the audience to form deeper and more personal connections to the music and to the artists.

The Baltimore Musicales produced a one-of-a-kind concert event in 2018 in collaboration with the George Peabody Library and the Peabody Friedheim Library celebrating the life and career of legendary soprano (and Baltimore resident) Rosa Ponselle.  The Musicales continued with their mainstage season, as well as many outreach collaborations in the Baltimore city and county communities, until the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. 

Although in-person performances have been temporarily suspended, the Musicales have continued to connect with its audience members through virtual performances.  Since March, 2020, the Musicales have premiered eight virtual performances on its YouTube channel, in addition to creating and introducing the series "In the Living Room with...", an informal virtual discussion with artists and composers.  The Musicales will continue its virtual presentations, and greatly looks forward to returning to the concert stage and outreach venues when it is safe to perform again in-person.

  • Force of Destiny:  The Life and Music of Rosa Ponselle
    Force of Destiny: The Life and Music of Rosa Ponselle
    Considered one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century, Rosa Ponselle spent nineteen seasons at the Metropolitan Opera before retiring to Villa Pace, her lavish estate in Baltimore County. On the centennial of her 1918 Met debut opposite Enrico Caruso, we trace her incredible journey from Vaudeville to the Greenspring Valley through art songs, arias and duets that helped shape the careers of both Ponselle and her sister Carmela. Featured vocalists will included Claire Galloway, Annie Gill, Min Jin, and Thea Tullman Moore with pianist Ka Nyoung Yoo. The performance was held on October 10th, 2018. This concert was sponsored by the Arthur Friedheim Library of the Peabody Institute, which holds a special collection of rare material on Rosa Ponselle donated by the Lester Dequaine/Frank Chiarenza Foundation in 2015. Following the concert, audience members were invited to visit the Friedheim Library for a reception and an opportunity to view an exhibit of historical items from the Rosa Ponselle collection. More information about the collection is available at http://musiclibrary.peabody.jhu.edu/rosaponselle.

Presentations

Soprano Annie Gill is a professional singer, actress, and voice over actor who continues to gain recognition as a distinctive and versatile artist.  Ms. Gill now adds the new role of “Presenter” to her multi-faceted career.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, musicians’ lives and performance careers were changed overnight.  To adapt to these new challenges, Ms. Gill created a presentation entitled "On-Camera Techniques for Musicians".  This virtual presentation guides fellow musicians through the new virtual process as they continue to perform, teach, and live online. The presentation combines her skills and training as an on-camera actor and voice over artist with the needs of musicians in the digital age.
 
Topics discussed include everything from home studio set-up and recording equipment; to hair, makeup, and what to wear on camera; and how to perform for the camera without compromising technique.  Since the summer of 2020, Ms. Gill has presented for several colleges throughout the entire United States, including Morgan State University, Towson University, Georgia College, and Peabody Preparatory Vocal program.  Additionally, Ms. Gill presented for one-on-one coachings, and for independent musicians and private studios.  Upcoming presentations include sessions for Duquesne University, Florida State University, the Hartt School, and the Rio Grande division of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS). 
 
Ms. Gill also created a second presentation entitled “From the Stage to the Office:  Vocal Health Tips and Tricks for the Professional.”  This presentation focuses on vocal health for all professions, and specifically tackles the difficulties of significant vocal use while working in online platforms.  Ms. Gill has presented for several private practices in the medical profession, as they transitioned in-person patient visits to virtual medical appointments.

Outreach - Senior Communities

Ms. Gill strongly believes in community engagement for all ages through accessible concert performances of music with high artistic merit, and which establish personal connections between the performers and the audience.

Throughout her time in Baltimore, she has frequently performed at many senior living facilities, both as a soloist in recital with pianist Andrew Stewart, and as a roster member of the Baltimore Musicales.  It can be difficult for many senior citizens to travel to musical performances in and around Baltimore, and they often rely on the in-house entertainment provided by their living facilities.  Through dedicated invovlement in these often overlooked communities, the artist presents programs of the highest level to senior audiences throughout Baltimore city and the surrounding counties.
 
Artistic collaborators since 2016, soprano Annie Gill and pianist Andrew Stewart have presented many unique recital programs at senior living facilities:  an All-American program entitled An American Musical Journey, their celebrated program of Czech and Slovak music entitled Písně Lásky a Naděje (Songs of Love and Hope), and several recitals featuring favorite operatic arias, art songs, and musical theater selections.  These programs feature over one hour of carefully selected musical repertoire, and include spoken introductions to each set of songs, as well as an artist question and answer session following the concert.
 
Previous performance venues include Edenwald Retirement Community, Springwell Senior Living Community, Blakehurst Senior Living, and Brightview Senior Living.  With over 22 senior living facilities in the Baltimore city area, Ms. Gill intends to schedule more performances of these recital programs at a variety of locations when it is safe to return to in-person concerts.

By bringing these recitals to senior audiences, we can provide enriching musical experiences to those in our community who may not otherwise have access to these artistic opportunities.  Ms. Gill believes it remains vital to present  programs that will positively impact our senior communities.
