Erin Neff

Described as ‘Arresting’ by the San Francisco Chronicle in her most recent operatic appearance, Erin Neff never fails to engage and rivet her audience dramatically and vocally. Ms. Neff made her solo debut with the San Francisco Opera as Blanche in their 2000 production of Louise and since then has returned to make several appearances with the company, including productions of Rigoletto, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and in 2008 The Bonesetter’s Daughter and Simon Boccanegra. She has also sung with Berkeley Opera, the San Francisco Symphony singing the Alto Solo in Beethoven’s Choral Fantasia; Livermore Valley Opera, North Bay Opera, San Francisco Lyric Opera, The Worn Chamber Ensemble, The Gilmore international Keyboard Festival, The Jewish Music Festival, the Mendocino Music Festival and others.

Upcoming Performances include a concert with the 2009 Jewish Music Festival, Alto Soloist in Mozart’s Requiem with the Santa Rosa Symphony, Flora in Sacramento Opera’s 2010 production of Traviata and a concert appearance at the 2010 Telluride Music Festival singing the cabaret music of the Weimar-era Berlin.

A multi-faceted artist, Ms. Neff also collaborates with other artists to create multi-media installations. Most recently in collaboration with Lewis de Soto, a sound installation commissioned by the San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art for the 30 year retrospective of artist Lewis de Soto. She is presently developing an installation for the new Culver Arts Center in Riverside, California for April 2010.

Ms. Neff is also fascinated by the process of teaching and runs a private voice studio in San Francisco.
