Soprano Christina Kay enjoys a multifaceted career as an artist, educator, and arts administrator. Her special interest in enlivening music of the Renaissance and Baroque eras with ornamentation and movement led her to co-found Filigree Ensemble in 2022. She has also particularly enjoyed collaborating with mime Tony Lopresti and the Academy of Sacred Drama (dir. Jeremy Rhizor), bringing dynamic movement to performances of little-known Baroque oratorios, and has had the pleasure of performing Handel’s Messiah—one of her very favorite works—at Carnegie Hall with the MasterWork Chorus and Orchestra, where she ornamented to her heart’s content as the soprano soloist under director Chris Shepard.

​

A sought after multi-genre singer, Christina has recorded an indie folk album with the Home Port trio, performed bluegrass songs at farmers markets and weddings, sung everything from pop and jazz to motets and modern works with a cappella sextet The Western Wind, and written and presented florid solo arrangements of late Renaissance and early Baroque madrigals with ARTEK Early Music. As an ensemble singer, she has appeared with the American Classical Orchestra, the Cathedral Choir of St. John the Divine, Handel & Haydn Society, New York Virtuoso Singers, Santa Fe Desert Chorale, True Concord Voices & Orchestra, the Choir of Trinity Wall Street, and numerous churches in the New York City metro area. ​​
