“…agile, attractive and full of character.”
-Richard Dyer, The Boston Globe
Jessica Cooper has been praised by the Boston Globe for her “warm, sizable” voice, “agile, attractive and full of character,” and hailed as “a welcome addition to Boston’s top rank of Handel sopranos.” Jessica has made solo appearances with the Boston Cecilia, Handel and Haydn Society, Chorus Pro Musica, Bach Collegium San Diego, True Concord, and Arcadia Players, and has actively performed as a soloist with chamber groups and orchestras nationally and in New England since 2000.
Jessica was a 2003 and 2004 finalist in the New England Regional Metropolitan Opera National Council for Auditions, and competed twice nationally to secure first place at the New England National Association of the Teachers of Singing National Competition. Her solo engagements with companies include the La Jolla Symphony, Boulder Bach Festival, Exsultemus, Emmanuel Music, Musica Sacra, Portland Symphony Orchestra, Boston Civic Symphony Orchestra, Wellesley Symphony Orchestra and Nashua Symphony, and spoke as a featured guest on WGBH 89.7, "Classics in the morning."
“Soprano Jessica Cooper was outstanding for beauty of tone, technical accomplishment, and musical intelligence.”
