Current as of June 25, 2025 FULL PRESS KIT LATEST NEWS REPRESENTATIVES Vanessa Uzan General/Opera Adrienne Boris Symphony CRITICAL ACCLAIM "His booming room-filling voice..." – Voce di Meche Osmin in Die Entführung aus dem Serail – "Bass Edwin Davis impressed us with his portrayal of the comically nasty Osmin, servant to the Pasha. He so immersed himself in the role that it never seemed like acting. It would have been a mesmerizing performance if he had never sung a note; but his booming room-filling voice was marvelously employed to serve the role. The difficult third aria "Ha, wie will ich triumphieren" contains some of the lowest notes in the bass repertory and he nailed them." __________ "a focused, resonant, deliciously dark sound..." – Elaine Schmidt, Journal Sentinel Sparafucile in Rigoletto – "Bass Edwin Davis brought a focused, resonant, deliciously dark sound to the role of Sparafucile ... using that sound as the core of a dark-hearted character." __________ "chilling basso notes" – Urban Milwaukee Sparafucile in Rigoletto – "In a large cast of capable singers, there were some standouts: The chilling basso notes of Edwin Davis as the assassin Sparafucile..."

Current as of July 11, 2025 CRITICAL ACCLAIM "...constantly compelling..." – Orlando Sentinel Cavalleria Rusticana – "Audrey Babcock gives Santuzza the drive and despair of a woman who's losing at love and knows it. She, too, is constantly compelling, and her anger and grief seem to rise from her body into her voice." __________ “... simply fabulous…” – Cache Valley Daily Beyond Carmen – "In Beyond Carmen – Ms. Babcock’s pas de deux with classical guitarist Andrés Vadin – she delivered a sultry, beguiling, seductive vocal performance at the Ellen Eccles Theatre on July 26. Ms. Babcock’s singing was simply fabulous. . . Ms. Babcock delivered stunning vocals as she explored Ladino folk songs and lullabys, all leading up to the Bizet’s familiar “Habanera,” followed by a taste of flamenco as an encore. It was a spellbinding experience.” __________ "...this soprano has a voice and a presence that cannot be denied..." – Front Row Reviewers Aida – "Babcock as the Egyptian princess Amneris is strong and assertive and this soprano has a voice and a presence that cannot be denied...Babcock shimmers—she is absolutely stunning." __________ "... a moving, haunting performance…” – San Diego Union Tribune Maria de Buenos Aires – “As Maria, mezzo-soprano Audrey Babcock gives a moving, haunting performance and her dusky, flexible voice soars, especially in the famous aria “Yo soy Maria.”” __________ "... Babcock's Carmen simmered with sensuality..." – Minneapolis Star-Tribune Carmen – “Sometimes opera performances are dominated by a single singer. That was the case Friday evening …Babcock's Carmen simmered with sensuality. But her proud, principled embrace of the bohemian lifestyle — and her refusal to be trammeled by the men in her life — lent ballast to the sex kitten manipulations. Seductive? Yes, but Babcock was a thinking Carmen, too, a woman who knew her worth and had no intention of letting it be diminished. Vocally Babcock had the part nailed, too. Light and playful in numbers such as the Act 1 set-piece "Habanera," her voice expanded thrillingly in the later confrontations with Don José, while never losing a satisfying bloom and plenitude." __________ "... a stunningly full-throated performance..." – Broadway World Rigoletto – “Mezzo soprano Audrey Babcock, as the manipulative and cunning Maddalena, very nearly steals the show in her third act appearance, giving audiences a mere glimpse of what we can expect from her Carmen, the centerpiece of Nashville Opera's 30th Anniversary Season: She gives a stunningly full-throated performance of the sexy and sensuous Maddalena and the senses reel in anticipation of her Carmen.” __________ "... a well projected, amber-hued tone..." – Opera News Little Women – “Babcock won empathy as the intractable member of the March family’s four sisters... She deftly negotiated the score’s angular melodies with incisive pitch, supple coloratura and a well projected, amber-hued tone.” __________ "Mezzo-soprano Audrey Babcock ate the role of Augusta Tabor with a spoon." – Parterre Box Ballad of the Baby Doe – "Mezzo-soprano Audrey Babcock ate the role of Augusta Tabor with a spoon. She relished every glorious character moment this role had to offer her and keenly took thorough advantage of all of them...Vocally, she was extremely strong, even in Moore’s most taxing writing of the role for the ‘Leadville Fricka.’ Plus, if she ever gets to sing Strauss’s Klytemnestra, she’s already got the perfect gown and I will insist she take it out of her closet for an encore."

Recently, Mr. Jones has appeared in recital with baritone Sidney Outlaw at The Atlanta Opera and San Francisco Opera and led masterclasses at Merola Opera Program and Source Song.

READ MORE Mr. Jones is a longtime faculty member at the Manhattan School of Music and a former faculty member at the Music Academy of the West, and recently finished an appointment as Artist in Residence in Music at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. In 2017, Mr. Jones was invited by the National Association of Teachers of Singing to be the inaugural Master Teacher in their Intern Program for young collaborative pianists at the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto; and later in that year, he served as Artist in Residence in Opera at New England Conservatory and at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

In 2014, he conducted the world premiere of a new operatic version of A Christmas Carol at the Houston Grand Opera. Current as of August 17, 2023 FULL PRESS KIT LATEST NEWS REPRESENTATIVES Shawn Marie Jeffery General CRITICAL ACCLAIM "... endlessly fascinating…” – The Irish Times “Wednesday's NCH/The Irish Times Celebrity concert by the violin and piano duo of Catherine Leonard and Warren Jones placed what you might regard as exemplary test pieces at either end of what turned out to be an evening of hugely stimulating music-making. The lazy meditativeness of Ravel's opening movement was beautifully caught, as if the two players were musing with a kind of independent togetherness. Jones's dissection of the piano writing in the central Blues movement was endlessly fascinating, with even the slightest and shortest of chordal dabs given perfect harmonic colouring, and the violin's strumming sounding more banjo-like than ever. The moto perpetuo finale was breathlessly exciting." __________ "... near-flawless…” – The Boston Globe “The songs of Richard Strauss, however, five of which followed, are never easy. The soprano - gorgeous in a powder blue gown and iridescent wrap - treaded cautiously, particularly in the middle part of her range, which bordered on an incorporeal delicacy. On the top, though, the familiar gilt-edged timbre still gleamed, while Warren Jones, the superb pianist, judiciously reduced the dynamic without sacrificing tonal depth. In a near-flawless "Morgen," Jones's pearly luminescence and Dame Kiri's silken line were in magical, crystalline confluence.” __________ "... the recital's high point..." – Philadelphia Inquirer “Dame Kiri Te Kanawa opened the Kimmel Center's classical-music season Saturday ... in recital with pianist Warren Jones ... The biggest challenges were positioned at points when Te Kanawa would be vocally freshest, progressing from there into her comfort zone but avoiding sameness with fluctuating emotional temperature and varied piano writing, which was always noticeable because Jones is so interesting. He brought a particular celestial expansiveness to Strauss' 'Morgen.' We know from the composer's own recordings that he'd never stretch a musical idea so far. ... It was the recital's high point."

Silveri JUNIOR AGENT: FILM/TV Lucius Robinson CRITICAL ACCLAIM “...a wonder..." – BroadwayWorld LA Cats – “Specialty song and dances are filled with bold personality, the most engaging of which is Munkustrap (Dan Hoy), the alpha male protector of the group who also acts as narrator. In a show that can overwhelm the senses with all of its moving parts, his face in stillness is a wonder.” __________ "...stunning..." - The Signal Cats – As a general rule, there is not a true protagonist in 'Cats,' but Hoy’s Munkustrap definitely tries to be in this production. Munkustrap is the show’s emcee and Hoy’s performance is stunning. In almost every single scene he is in, he steals. While Munkustrap is one of the few Jellicle cats that does not receive a musical introduction, he manages to be a Jellicle star.
