Hailed for her “command over a powerful range of expressive emotion” (The Whole Note), Jaclyn is defining what it means to be a portfolio artist. This year, she joined the Rebanks Family Fellowship and International Residency program at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory. Additionally, this season she is a young artist with the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme, Banff Opera in the 21st Century, and Sewanee Summer Music Festival. During these programs, she looks forward to performing excerpts of Krystyna (Two Remain), Helmwige (Die Walküre), Anne (Singing Only Softly), Littler Daughter (Proving Up), Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Female Chorus (Rape of Lucretia), and Violetta (La Traviata).

A proud co-founder of Likht Ensemble, Jaclyn is passionate about sharing music by Jewish composers from the Holocaust. This season Jaclyn will curate and perform in the Shoah Songbook, a concert series with the Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company, sharing music by Jewish composers from the Holocaust. Likht Ensemble recent shared recitals with Pacific Opera Victoria, Holy Blossom, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the Sewanee Summer Music Festival. This August, Jaclyn looks forward to performing the title role in Bas-Sheve by Henech Kon, a Yiddish opera in it’s North American premiere with the Ashkenaz Festival and Yiddish Opera Weimar.
