Baltimore based soprano Caitlin Glastonbury is a freelance performer, storyteller, ensemble collaborator, and arts administrator.

In 2024, Caitlin commissioned and premiered Steven Naylor's weathering, a song cycle for soprano and piano, which sets texts from their personal journals. This past season, Caitlin presented a series of recitals, including works by Poulenc, Brahms, Saariaho, Rosśa Crean, Schumann, and Katherine Balch, including the premiere of Crean's unaccompanied song cycle, Grotesque. They joined the Peabody Institute Conductor's Orchestra under the instruction of Maestro Marin Alsop as the soprano soloist in Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 and Johannes Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem, and performed Norina’s aria from Gaetanno Donizetti’s Don Pasquale this spring.

mission

I believe that music has inherent value to the world through its capacity to facilitate human connection, and find inspiration by being part of performances that create impactful spaces for a diverse range of audiences.

As a recitalist, I am passionate about featuring new music, especially music by Nonbinary and Transgender composers, and repertoire of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. I strive to explore the intersection between early and contemporary styles, pushing musical boundaries with storytelling.

In rehearsal and collaborative spaces, I am passionate about sharing and receiving genuine communication and feedback. I am passionate about sharing and performing music by living composers, and exploring the role of advocacy in art, and vice versa.
