Rhoslyn Jones Joins the SFCM Faculty

Rhoslyn Jones (Opera ’06), Matthew Worth, Frederica Von Stade, and Marnie Breckenridge were recently appointed to the faculty at San Francisco Conservatory Of Music.

In addition to her critically acclaimed performances at San Francisco Opera, Jones “has maintained strong Bay Area connections through the Bay Area Vocal Program, an organization which she co-founded, and having been a participant in the Merola Opera Program and an Adler Fellow.” SFCM Dean and Chief Academic Officer Jonas Wright expressed that Jones’s “impressive performance career, combined with the outstanding successes her private studio students have achieved will continue to build the vocal performance degree here at SFCM into a powerhouse.”

Career highlights include Musetta in Puccini’s La Boheme with Arizona Opera and Pittsburgh Opera, the title role of Puccini’s Tosca at San Francisco Opera, and the Countess in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro with Vancouver Opera and Opera Santa Barbara. A graduate of the University of British Columbia, she has also served on its faculty, and taught at Sonoma State University. Many of her talented students have been accepted into top-tier institutions and have won major competitions.

“My teachers and mentors trained my voice and nurtured my ambition, enabling me to stand on the greatest opera stages and sing, gratefully and joyfully,” said Jones. “I know that SFCM is the best place I, in turn, can help nurture and realize artists’ goals.”  Read more HERE.
