A graduate of Millikin University (Decatur, IL), Ms. Chapman has proven to be a versatile performer.  From musical theatre to drama to opera, she has appeared on-stage in roles as Laurey in Oklahoma!, Julie Jordan in Carousel, Pitti-Sing in The Mikado, Adele in  Die Fledermaus, the Mother in Amahl and the Night Visitors, and Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro.

A former section leader for the St. Louis Symphony Chorus, she sang as the rehearsal soloist for Haydn’s Harmoniemesse with Franz Welser-Möst; Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem with the late Robert Shaw; and Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection,” Mozart’s Mass in c-minor, and Barber’s Prayers of Kierkegaard, all with Leonard Slatkin.

Other solo appearances include Saint-Saëns’s A Christmas Oratorio, Haydn’s The Creation, Handel’s The Messiah, Rutter’s Requiem, and Mozart’s Requiem.

Ms. Chapman currently sings with the St. Louis Chamber Chorus, a professional a cappella chorus.  She was the featured soloist in several works, including Yakov Gubanov’s The Garden of Roses, Judith Bingham’s The Drowned Lovers, Sir Michael Tippetts Five Spirituals (from A Child of Our Time), and Aaron Copland’s motet for soprano soloist and chorus, In the Beginning.

Equally comfortable leading from the podium, Ms. Chapman has served as Assistant Conductor for the Chorus since 2008, which has afforded her the opportunity to work closely with several of today’s leading composers.  She was privileged to conduct the world premiere of Gubanov’s Psalmus XXVII¸ and the American premiere of Bob Chilcott’s arrangement of Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas Brasileiras #5.

Ms. Chapman maintains a private voice studio in University City, Missouri, and directs the adult choir of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion.  She is proud alumna of the Nu Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, and is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS).
