Randi Marrazzo

As a co-founder of Lyric Fest, soprano Randi Marrazzo is thrilled to share her love for song and story with audiences. This project is a natural to her interest of integrating music more meaningfully into life and filling out the recital experience with a vast and diverse repertoire.

As an active recitalist, Randi has presented engaging programs at the University of Delaware, Venice Presbyterian Concert Series and the Free Library of Philadelphia and has recorded Wedding Classics Unveiled on CD, a compilation of classical love songs. Randi was recently appointed a Pennsylvania Commonwealth Speaker for 2008 and 2009 to perform recitals of the Musical Heritage of Pennsylvania throughout the state. She also enjoys an ongoing operatic career having sung leading roles with the New York City Opera, Opera Company of Philadelphia, Mississippi Opera, OperaDelaware, Sarasota Opera and Pennsylvania Opera Theater. As a concert singer she sings repertoire from Mozart and Handel to Broadway and operetta with the Kennett Symphony, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, Orchestra 2001, the Immaculata Symphony and the Philly Pops.

Randi is a lecture in voice at Temple University and has edited a series of songbooks for the young singer entitled The First Solos: Songs by Women Composers, high, medium and low, published by Hildegard Publishing Company. Randi holds degrees from the University of Delaware, Catholic University and Curtis Institute of Music. She was a finalist in the prestigious Metropolitan Opera National Auditions.
