Amy E. Johnson - Amy is honored to be back to share this evening of music with each of you. It is always a dream come true to perform alongside Maestro Chris Confessore and the incredible musicians of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. 

Amy began performing as a child in the Birmingham area and followed her love of singing and musical theatre to receive a BA in Theatre from the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Alabama. 

An Alabama native, Amy lives in Birmingham, serves as a staff musician at Trinity United Methodist Church in Homewood, and performs locally throughout the theatre community. Some favorite roles include Diane in “Come From Away,” Miss Andrew/Bird Woman in “Mary Poppins,” the Narrator in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” Marmee in “Little Women,” Lucy Grant in “Bright Star,” Marie in “Cinderella,” Amy in “Company,” Judy in “9 to 5,” The Bakers Wife in “Into the Woods,” Ursula in “The Little Mermaid,” and as Penny Pennywise in “Urinetown,” among others.

In addition to performing, Amy serves as the Senior Manager of Social Media for a large financial firm and oversees content strategy, team member social activation and social media implementation for the brand. 

When she’s not singing for her supper or creating content, Amy dabbles in voiceover work. She also enjoys boxing and building community with her friends at Battle Republic, loves travel, hiking, cooking and spending time with her Sheepadoodles, Gemma and Simon, who closely resemble mops. 

Amy sends love to her family, both born and chosen, and would like to thank Chris for including her in yet another exciting experience with the symphony. Big thanks also goes to the talented musicians for their hard work and the supporters of the ASO for keeping art alive in Birmingham.
