Kehar Koslowsky
Mezzo-Soprano Kehar Koslowsky is an accomplished choral artist, currently singing with The Santa Fe Symphony Chorus, with whom she was a soloist last season in Vivaldi’s Gloria. She has performed extensively in the Washington, DC, area with the Cathedral Choral Society, Washington Bach Consort, and Woodley Ensemble. She was a staff singer at St. Michael’s Cathedral, and St. John’s Church Lafayette Square—where she sang for both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
A graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park, Kehar was a soloist for Bach Fest 2007 with Kenneth Slowik, and Mozart’s Coronation Mass. Her opera roles include Diana in Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld with the Janiec Opera Company; Desdemona in Rossini’s Otello with Maryland Opera Studio; Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, Rosina in Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia, and Dorabella in Cosi Fan Tutte with the Crittenden Opera Studio; and multiple seasons as a chorus member with Saratoga Opera. As a concert singer, she has performed the works of Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Brahms, and Bernstein and has worked with conductors J. Reilly Lewis, Bill Roberts, Kenneth Slowik, and David Effron.
A native of Saratoga Springs, New York, she moved to the Santa Fe area in 2012 where she developed a great fondness for red and green chili and hiking in the high desert terrain. When not singing, she can be found dancing and spending time outdoors, and working as a freelance Web Product/Project Manager.
