Abigail Fischer
"With her dramatic tumble of red hair and cello-mello voice, Ms. Fischer sings with a passionate restraint that has no equal in her generation. You didn't want her to stop.” So said Zachary Woolf from the New York Times after Abigail Fischer's performance of George Benjamin with St. Luke's Orchestra at the New York Philharmonic Bienniel in 2014.
Versatile vocalist Abigail Fischer has made a vibrant career soloing with ensembles such as the Kansas City Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Rhode Island Symphony, Virginia Symphony, Boston Baroque, and Mercury Orchestra Houston. With the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Ms. Fischer performed semi-staged versions of Strauss' Salome and Midsummer Night's Dream.
