American soprano Melissa Givens has been resoundingly praised by audiences and critics
alike for her rich, liquid tone and intelligent, musical interpretations. The Houston Chronicle’s
Charles Ward called her a singer whose music making is “consistently rewarding” and “a
pleasure to hear.” Of her most recent performances, he simply stated, “Soprano Melissa Givens
was the best, singing with effortless tone and gracious musicality.” The Austin American-
Statesman, commenting on her performance of the Brahms A German Requiem at the Victoria
Bach Festival, marveled that she “sounded like the angelic voice that Brahms probably imagined
as he composed it.” Further critical praise has come from Mary Kunz of The Buffalo News,
noting Givens “sings with a joyful authority.”
Recent appearances include Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder in a return engagement with the
Texas Ballet Theater and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, prompting the Dallas Morning
News’ Dana Gavin Frank to say that “[the dancer’s] seraphic acrobatics were a physical
realization of soprano Melissa Givens’ heavenly voice.” The same program with the Houston
Ballet at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre elicited the exclamation of “superbly sung” from The
Moscow Times.
Other recent appearances include an enthusiastically received turn as soprano soloist in Bach’s
St. John Passion for the Bach Society of Houston and Donna Anna in the Houston Ebony Opera
Guild’s 2004 production of Don Giovanni. That year she also essayed the title role in the staged
Ars Lyrica Houston production of Alessandro Scarlatti’s oratorio La Giuditta under the direction
of renowned American harpsichordist and musicologist Matthew Dirst who praised her as having
“the perfect baroque voice.” In June of 2004, she gave the Texas premiere of Baruch by San
Francisco based composer Daniel David Feinsmith with barmusic, a Houston area chamber
music group devoted to music of the last fifty years.
Ms. Givens remains in demand on concert series throughout the United States, having most
recently given recitals in Buffalo, Houston and the Charlotte area. She is a champion of
collaborative musical endeavors, performing with various chamber music groups, as well as the
internationally acclaimed Houston Grand Opera Chorus, and Austin based Conspirare. Her solo
appearance on their recent Clarion Records release, through the green fuse, was favorably noted
in the Austin Chronicle. She can also be heard on her solo compact disc, let the rain kiss you,
