Item Description

Have a voice lesson (actually two) with First Church soloist Laura Beth Couch! Laura has generously offered two 45-minute voice lessons, available to students 10 years old to 100 years old.

Laura Beth Couch (https://www.laurabethcouchmezzo.com), lauded by The Boston Musical Intelligencer for singing with “deep pathos” and “radiant affection,” is a mezzo-soprano living in Boston. Laura is in her third year of singing and teaching at First Church. She serves as Alto Section Leader and Soloist for the Senior Choir, as Assistant Director for the Children’s Music Program, and teaches private voice lessons. Last May, she earned her Performance Diploma from Boston University where she performed as Julia Child in Bon Appétit, Dorothée in Cendrillon, Alice 2 in Alice Tierney, and Friedrich Bhaer in Little Women. Other favorite roles include Mrs. Phagan in Parade, Tisbe in La Cenerentola, La Ciesca in Gianni Schicchi, and Babette in Beauty and the Beast. Laura has been a soloist for Bach’s Magnificat, Bononcini’s Stabat Mater, Handel’s Messiah, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Mozart’s Coronation Mass, and Marianna Martines’s Dixit Dominus. A dedicated music teacher of over 10 years, she earned her M.M. in Voice Performance from Shenandoah University and her B.M. in Music Education from Rutgers University. Coming up next, Laura will be performing as Mrs. Lovett (cover) in Opera51’s production of Sweeney Todd and as Bradamante (cover) in MassOpera’s production of Alcina.
