Soprano Joannah Ball brings her shimmering, facile voice and compelling artistry to a variety of operatic and concert repertoire.  Engagements include Renegade Opera’s immersive Birdsongs of Opera and virtual project, The Secret Diaries.  She sang the role of Madame Herz in Der Schauspieldirektor in Salem, OR and has appeared with Opera Theater Oregon in Two Yosemites, Festival Oregon Chorale in their unabridged performance of Handel's Messiah, and as soprano soloist with Willamette Master Chorus in Rutter's Requiem.  Operatic roles include Adele (Die Fledermaus) and Despina (Così fan tutte), Princess Zara (Utopia Limited) and scenes from The Mikado, The Ballad of Baby Doe, Carmen, and Hansel and Gretel.  Additional oratorio performances include Schubert's Mass in G and Bach Cantatas "Nun komm der heiden Heiland," & "Gottes Zeit ist die aller beste Zeit.”  Her passion for collaboration and innovation has led her to perform several new works by composers in Boston and Oregon, including a premier of a chamber work for soprano, cello, percussion and dancers by composer Kevin Joest with choreography by Inés Beaumonte Cosín.
