Liz kicks off the 2025/26 season with a company debut with St. John’s Ensemble in Chicago, featuring Telemann’s rarely heard Die Tageszeiten cantata. She joins Voices of Ascension as a soloist for the Monteverdi Vespers and for a world premiere by Nico Muhly in their Fall Gala at the Museum of the City of New York. Elsewhere, she appears in concert with Modus Operandi Orchestra and Riverside Orchestra, performs in the finals concert of the Winter Park Oratorio Society Competition, and is featured on the recently Grammy-nominated album Requiem of Light with the Clarion Society. Recognized for bringing “touches of smoldering drama” (Musical America), Liz continues to develop and perform multi-genre concert projects, including Rooted, a musical exploration of identity inspired by her Lebanese heritage, and begins work on a world premiere commission specially curated for the James Turrell SkySpace in Philadelphia, slated for August 2026.

Known for her stylistic fluidity, Liz has made recent company debuts with MasterVoices for the NYC premiere of Doug Varone’s To My Arms / Restore, led by Ted Sperling, and with New York Choral Society for Reena Esmail’s This Love Between Us. She has collaborated in salons with opera legends James Morris, Frederica von Stade, and Sherrill Milnes, and has appeared in performance with Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs of the Boston Early Music Festival, as well as Metropolitan Opera pianist Howard Watkins. A frequent soloist with Voices of Ascension and Riverside Orchestra, she has also appeared with Oratorio Society of New York, New American Songbook Orchestra, Kollective366, Stonington Opera, Bard Summerscape, Bach Vespers Orchestra, at Carnegie Hall, throughout Italy, and at the Salzburg Festival in Austria.

Operatic highlights include Mimì in La bohème with Savannah Voice Festival; Léontine in a concert version of L’Amant anonyme with Voices of Ascension; Sweet Bird in James Darrah and Peabody Southwell’s staged production of Handel’s L’Allegro with Hawaii Performing Arts Festival; and Iris in Opera Omaha’s Semele – where she “provided some much welcome comic relief” (Wall Street Journal) and “stole her scenes as a spritely Iris with her iridescent soprano” (Omaha World-Herald). Additional leading roles include La Traviata, Dialogues of the Carmelites, Serse, Almira, and Die Zauberflöte. As part of New York Opera Fest, she premiered Ben Yarmolinsky’s newly expanded secular oratorio The Constitution, prompting Parterre Box to write, “Liz almost stole the show with her easy-breezy tone and high-octane scatting.”

Equally comfortable switching between melismas and riffing, Liz made her Off-Broadway debut as Glinda in a parody of Wicked with Drunk Musicals, joined the cast of Michael Mott’s In the Light for its NYC premiere with the launch of the Broadway Workroom Series, and has appeared in new musical development with New York Theater Barn and Fire Island Pines Project. She frequently performs with her jazz-fusion band, most recently at an anniversary celebration for Coca-Cola® at the Statue of Liberty. Her work also includes genre-bending, multidisciplinary theatrical projects and new commissions that have toured nationally, often centered on identity, historical relevance, and social consciousness.

Liz is the winner of the Sherrill Milnes American Opera Award and a finalist in the Joy in Singing International Art Song Competition. She holds degrees from the Eastman School of Music and Oklahoma City University. When not singing, Liz can be found wearing a multicolored jumpsuit, cooking something ambitious, or advocating loudly for causes and political campaigns she believes in. She is based in New York City – but will travel. If it’s music, she’s in.
