Sara Crigger

Mezzo-soprano Sara Crigger has been praised for her warmth of tone and “flawless comedic timing.” A few of her operatic credits include Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro, Fanny in La Cambiale di Matrimonio, and L’écureuil in L’Enfant et les Sortileges. Ms. Crigger has appeared as a soloist with the Nashville Collegiate Orchestra as well as the Austin Peay Symphony Orchestra as winner of the Concerto and Aria Competition. Sara was a winner at the 2016 Mid-South NATS Competition. Her upcoming engagements include appearances as the mezzo soloist in Women of Valor as well as Dorabella in Mozart’s much loved Così fan tutte.

A lover of contemporary music, Sara has made a concerted effort to work with living composers on a regular basis. She has been fortunate to premiere works such as Rachel Devore Fogarty’s “As the rain hides the stars” and Karl Henning’s “Nicodemus brings myrrh and aloes for the burial of the Christ.”

Sara received her Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and completed her Master of Music in Vocal Performance at Austin Peay State University. She has also attended the Crittendon Opera workshop and has appeared as an Apprentice Artist with Miami Summer Music Festival. A musician who crosses styles freely, Sara has performed at CMA Fest and the BMI Awards as well as appearing as a soloist for Ravel’s Shéhérazade and numerous recitals.
