Jane Elizabeth Rady
Jane Elizabeth Rady (soprano), a life-long lover of music, came to singing later in life having commenced her vocal studies with Bruce Norris at the turn of this century. Although she always has loved singing, her musical training at the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford focused on a performance major in flute as well as in music education. She then freelanced with several chamber music groups performing throughout the TriState Area. Throughout her life Ms. Rady had sung with many groups both choral and opera in nature before getting up the nerve to throw caution to the wind and quit her job, pack up her house, her dog and her cat, and move to New York City to study voice. Flash forward to the present where in addition to singing with the Bond Street Euterpean Society (aka Bond Street Singers) at the Merchant's House Museum (where she also gives ghost tours), Ms. Rady continues to sing regularly in Connecticut as the soprano section leader and soloist at the Greenwich Reform Synagogue and at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Riverside.
