Praised for her musicality, consistent tone, and fine musicianship, Charlotte Bagwell is an American soprano based in New York City. Ms. Bagwell firmly believes that music and art can touch audiences in ways that words cannot, and she strives to emotionally connect and grow with her listeners each time she performs. A native of Dallas, Texas, Ms. Bagwell entered her musical career on the violin at the age of four, and continued to play for twelve years under Diane Kitzman, principle first violin in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and violin faculty at Southern Methodist University. As a young violinist, she performed in various venues throughout Dallas, including at the funeral of Jerry Haynes (Mr. Peppermint). At fourteen, she began her vocal studies with Barbara Hill-Moore, voice faculty at Southern Methodist University and proceeded to receive her Bachelor of Music and Minor in Musicology at The Peabody Conservatory. At Peabody she studied with tenor Dr. Stanley Cornett, and sang Gretel in Peabody Outreach Opera's production of Hansel and Gretel. Ms. Bagwell was also a principle role in Peabody’s Etudes, a unique program featuring new operas written by composition students. She sang the soprano solo, Pie Jesu, in Faure's Requiem with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, and played a featured Street Singer in Bernstein's MASS under the baton of Marin Alsop, conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
