Maya Goell, soprano, began her classical training at the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts where she studied voice with Rhoslyn Jones. She eagerly sang whatever she could from Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor to Pink Floyd’s The Wall, performing with the school’s concert choir, chamber choir, jazz choir, and women’s choir. Some highlights include her performance of Atalanta in Handel’s Serse, premiering Karl Jenkin’s Bards of Wales at Carnegie Hall, and singing solos in Brahms’ Requiem and Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, as well as becoming a California State Art Scholar and a National Youngarts Winner. During her undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, she enjoyed roles such as Papagena in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Maria Bertram in Jonathan Dove’s Mansfield Park, Yvette in the Canadian premiere if Weinberg’s The Passenger, and the Contessa di Folleville in Rossini’s Il Viaggio a Reims. Maya is thrilled to be back in the Bay Area to pursue her master's degree at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
