Priscilla Baskerville

Career Trajectory

Baskerville emerged as a soprano of considerable versatility, moving fluidly between the operatic stage and the jazz club, between art song recitals and musical theatre productions. Her career reflects a deliberate artistic choice to remain unconfined by genre—a stance that has allowed her to develop a distinctive artistic voice while simultaneously limiting the kind of singular institutional recognition that accrues to singers who specialize. In her pedagogical work at LaGuardia High School, she has found a platform to transmit her hard-won knowledge of vocal technique and interpretive nuance to aspiring young artists.
