During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jim Bailiff added an ornate chapel / recital space to his Lookout Valley home, just a 10-minute drive from downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. This new room, with its excellent acoustics and a Steinway concert grand used in Artur Rubinstein's final southern tour, provides an ideal setting for performances of art song—an intimate space where all the subtle details of the genre can shine through.
We are pleased to be offering a series of six song recitals at this venue, to take place on the first Tuesday of each month from October 2022-March 2023.
Janelle Wagoner, Soprano
Songs by Florence Price, Samuel Barber, & Alice Parker
Janelle Wigal Wagoner, originally from Chattanooga, graduated summa cum laude from Valparaiso University in May 2018 with a BS in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Music. Janelle began singing in her church choirs at a young age and has been singing in church and the Chattanooga area since. Janelle became a member of the Royal School of Church Music, at age 11, and received the prestigious RSCM Gold Award with Honors in 2016 for the highest understanding of liturgical music, tradition, and music theory. Since graduating from Valpo, Janelle has become an active member of the Chattanooga Bach choir, Chattanooga Chamber Choir, and has helped to organize local Episcopal Churches into the In Spiritu Compline Choir. Janelle is also the founder and artistic director of Chorus Angelorum - a semi professional choral ensemble in the Chattanooga area.
