Born: USA
The American mezzo-soprano, Mary Westbrook-Geha, a graduate of the New England Conservatory, was chosen by Leonard Bernstein to perform two selections from his Songfest while she was a student at Tanglewood Music Center.
Her concert repertoire extends from the Verdi Requiem to the Bach Passions, including roles of contemporary works of Dallapiccola, John Harbison and appearances in collaboration with American choreographer Mark Morris.
