Mezzo-soprano Hai-Ting Chinn’s performance career spans music from medieval to new, and a range of theatrical styles from performance-practice to wildly experimental. She was featured in The Wooster Group’s La Didone, in the most recent revival of Einstein on the Beach, and in several monodramas written for her, as well as more standard operatic, oratorio, and concert repertoire. In recent years, Hai-Ting has become known as a champion of science communication through song, especially focusing on the work of women in STEM. As such, she is the creator and librettist of Science Fair: An Opera With Experiments, a staged show of science set to music;  Astronautica: Voices of Women in Space, a visual album of songs based on the words of women astronauts, created with vocal trio Triumphatrix; and Meltdown, (in which a glaciologist loses her cool); a collaboration with librettist David Cote and composer Stefan Weisman. Of mixed Chinese and Jewish ancestry, Hai-Ting is a native of Northern California and currently resides in New York City.  She holds degrees from the Eastman and Yale Schools of Music. www.hai-ting.com
