About
Michaels, a vocalist of 'spectacular and diverse gifts' (Journal of Singing) is also a gifted composer. Her nine-song cycle, The Long View, illuminates key aspects of Justice Ginsburg’s personal and professional life through letters, remembrances, conversations, and even Court opinions. The album concludes with songs by American composer Stacy Garrop, winner of many prestigious awards and commissions; JUNO Award-winning Canadian composer Vivian Fung; prolific art-song composer Lori Laitman; and an aria from Derrick Wang’s new comic opera, Scalia/Ginsburg.
American composer Stacy Garrop, recipient of many prestigious awards and commissions, based her deeply moving 'My Dearest Ruth' on the farewell love letter the Justice’s husband, Georgetown University law professor Martin Ginsburg, wrote shortly before his death in 2010. The aria 'You are Searching in Vain for a Bright-Line Solution', from Derrick Wang’s opera Scalia/Ginsburg, which captured widespread media attention, crystallizes Justice Ginsburg’s views on interpreting the U.S. Constitution. JUNO Award-winning Canadian composer Vivian Fung’s humorous 'Pot Roast à la RBG' provides directions for preparing the beef dish, using Justice Ginsburg’s own words as related in the text by daughter Jane Ginsburg. Prolific art-song composer Lori Laitman’s setting of the Emily Dickinson poem 'Wider than the Sky' wasn’t written with Ginsburg in mind, but it was performed at her 80th birthday celebration because it perfectly embodied her intellectual breadth.
Soprano Michaels is a veteran of opera, concert, and recital stages coast to coast and overseas. She has made more than 20 recordings for Cedille, Albany, Amadis, London/Decca, and other classical labels. Her work as a Mozart specialist has been featured on BBC Radio.
