Hailed as a "lovely, lyric soprano" (Jim Lowe, VT Times Argus), favorite roles include Adina in L'elisir d'Amore, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Konstanze in Die Entfûhrung aus dem Serail and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte. This fall, Lillian made her debut in Germany as Susanna in a special performance in Scharbeutz, DE. Returning closer to home, Lillian performed Lieschen in Bach's Coffee Cantata this November. Noted for her ability to learn music quickly, Lillian has built a reputation as a jump in. She recently made her debut as the soprano soloist in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with under one hour's notice. In Handel's Messiah, Lillian has been praised for her "brilliant, and lyrical singing [that] proved ideal for Handel, and was most rewarding in the aria “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!” and the beautiful duet, “He shall feed His flock.” (Jim Lowe, Times Argus). Other favorite concert repertoire includes Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, Schubert's Mass in G, Handel's Messiah (all parts), Mozart's Coronation Mass, Exsultate Jubilate and Vesperae Solemnes de Confessore, La Betulita Liberata, Saint-Saéens Christmas Oratorio, Weber's Missa Sancta No. 2 in G "Jubelmesse," and Vivaldi's Gloria RV 589 .
