Canadian mezzo-soprano Jennifer Enns Modolo has delighted audiences across the country with her clear, unaffected voice and meaningful singing. As an accomplished concert soloist, and with a repertoire that ranges from early music to contemporary, she performs regularly with ensembles throughout Ontario and across Canada including the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Grand Philharmonic Choir, the Nota Bene Period Orchestra, and the Spiritus Ensemble. She is a member of the Hamilton based ensemble Capella Intima, which specializes in performing exciting concerts of lesser known 17th century vocal and operatic music. In addition to performing with large and small ensembles, Jennifer also delights in the art of the solo recital and collaborates frequently with lutenist Magdalena Tomsinska and pianist Lorin Shalanko. Recent and upcoming engagements include a Copland’s ‘In the Beginning’ with the Da Capo Chamber Choir, a program of early Christmas music with Capella Intima and the KW Symphony Orchestra, Handel’s Messiah with the Hamilton Symphony Orchestra, Mozart’s Coronation Mass with Fanshawe Chorus London, J.S. Bach’s Cantata 182, ‘Himmelskönig, sei wilkommen’ and the Easter Oratorio with Spiritus Ensemble, and “Sacrum and Profanum” with counter tenor Daniel Cabena and lutenist Magdalena Tomsinska as part of the Nota Bene Baroque Players concert series. Jennifer is featured on several Aradia Ensemble recordings, including Handel’s Israel in Egypt (Naxos, 2008), Vivaldi Sacred Music, Volume 3 (Naxos, 2008) and singing the role of Eustazio in Handel’s Rinaldo (NAXOS 2005), all under the baton of Kevin Mallon.
