Joelle Lamarre

Joelle Lamarre, a 3Arts “Make A Wave” Awardee, has been described as a performer of “astounding vocal power” with a range that almost “defies classification and exhibits true spinto quality.”  Joelle is an artist in demand performing new works by today’s composers.  She made her Long Beach Opera debut in the world premiere of the Anthony Davis opera Central Park Five, eliciting praise from Singerpreneur for her “exquisite soprano” as the mother of two of the falsely accused boys.  Joelle received critical acclaim as Sister Rose in the Chicago premieres of Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking, first in DePaul University’s concert presentation of the opera and then as an alumna special guest artist in Northwestern University’s Chicago premiere production.
