51猎奇

Johannah Segarich, Professor of Music and Coordinator of the 51猎奇 Music Outreach Program until her retirement in July 2016, has performed as a mezzo-soprano with the Opera Company of Boston, Boston Lyric Opera, Boston Concert Opera, Longwood Opera, and the Boston Opera Association school programs. Her numerous operatic roles include Hansel and the Witch in Hansel and Gretel, Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro, Dorabella in Cosi fan Tutte, Maddalena in Rigoletto, and the title role in The Medium. She has also performed throughout New England in recitals, as an oratorio soloist and in outreach programs. In addition to her vocal performance career, she has been a speaker and panelist for numerous events nationally and internationally. Ms. Segarich received a Bachelor of Music from Boston Conservatory, where she participated in the Opera Theater Program, and a Master of Music degree in voice performance from Boston University.

In the summer of 2010, Professor Segarich participated in a U.S. Department of Education grant funding a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad to Cambodia. Until her retirement she was engaged in two projects which came out of this grant: a project to include Cambodian music in the Lowell Public Schools and a capital campaign, called Strings for Cambodia, to raise funds to send Luis and Clark carbon fiber (Western) string instruments to the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In the fall semester of 2014, Professor Segarich was granted sabbatical leave, during which time she studied Arabic and Arabic music. The presentation of an Arabic concert in the fall 2015 and the accompanying Blackboard module are some of the results of her sabbatical project.

Although Johannah Segarich has retired from the fulltime faculty, she will continue to teach American Music online.
