Caitlin Glastonbury is a soprano storyteller praised for their “ethereally beautiful sounds” (Ithaca Times). They hold a deep affinity for vocal repertoire from the Baroque and Renaissance eras, and are a pioneer for experimental writing and techniques for the voice. Based in Baltimore, they perform regularly in Washington, DC, New Haven, and New York City. In the 2026-27 season, Caitlin is excited to make their company debuts with Tenet Vocal Artists in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Bach in Baltimore as the soprano soloist in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata 70.

 

Caitlin frequently collaborates with current composers to commission, workshop, and premiere new works, and adores opportunities to contribute to this creative process. They are especially passionate about writing and curating texts to be set for their voice. In 2024, Caitlin commissioned and premiered Steven Naylor's weathering, a song cycle for soprano and piano, which sets texts from their personal journals. In April of 2026, they competed in the first annual DC SongSLAM, premiering Nicholas Edwards’s Zion, for which they collaborated on the process of curating historical documentation into poetry with the composer. Caitlin recently placed second in Minneapolis SongSLAM with a premiere of Sam Mason's Rain is Falling. This past season, Caitlin presented a series of solo recitals, including works by Francis Poulenc, Johannes Brahms, Kaija Saariaho, Rosśa Crean, Robert Schumann, and Katherine Balch, featuring the premiere of Crean's unaccompanied song cycle, Grotesque.

 

Recently, Caitlin joined the Peabody Institute Conductor's Orchestra under the instruction of Maestro Marin Alsop as the soprano soloist in Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 and Johannes Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem, and performed Norina’s aria from Gaetanno Donizetti’s Don Pasquale. They were the recipient of the African American Composer Honor in the 2025 Art Song Competition at the Peabody Conservatory, and placed third in the 2026 Sylvia Green Vocal Competition with a performance of Kaija Saariaho’s Quatre Instants. They were a member of the 2025-26 cohort of Tenet Vocal Artists Trailblazers mentorship program, and performed frequently with the Peabody Vocal Ensembles. They are a member of the professional core of the Emmanuel Choir and regularly substitute at churches in the DMV, including the Washington National Cathedral.
