Jennifer Johnson Cano, mezzo-soprano

Jennifer Johnson Cano is a recent graduate of The Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. "Ms. Johnson Cano is effortlessly likable, but in both her voice and her manner there is also a hint of something steely, even intimidating. Character - individuality, a taste for risk - is the attribute some find lacking in young American singers, but Ms. Johnson Cano has it: an honesty and assurance so impressive that you want to call it bravery." - The New York Times
