About me

Stephanie Jones (formerly Gilbert) was awarded her Masters Degree in Opera Performance from the Yale School of Music in 2011. While there, she studied with Soprano Doris Yarick-Cross and coaches Douglas Dickson, Timothy Shaindlin, Marc Verzatt, and Kyle Swann. 

Some past performances include a solo recital “Joy Alone” at the National Opera Center in Manhattan and a feature as the Soprano Soloist in the Hartford Symphony Orchestra's performance of Vaughn Williams Hodie.  Stephanie also performed the role of Bertha in Opera Theater of Connecticut’s Barber of Seville. 

With Yale Opera, she sang the role of Miriam in Hoiby's The Scarf.  In that performance, she was praised for a sound that “kept getting stronger and more arresting as she sang.”  Stephanie also took on the role of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with Yale Opera where “she was able to make Elvira into a likeable character.”  She performed the roles of Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, the Cook in Le Rossignol, and the Foreign Princess in Rusalka with Yale Opera as well. 

At the University of Southern Maine, where Stephanie received her Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance, Stephanie sang the title role in Suor Angelica and performed in the school’s Honor Recital for three consecutive years.  She was the 1st place winner of the Maine NATS Competition in 2007 and 2008 and the recipient of the Lillian Nordica Memorial Scholarship in 2008. 

No stranger to new music, she has performed works by composers Nancy Gunn, Bruce Fithian, and Paul Thomas and premiered works by Josh Newton and Nicholas Boland.

Stephanie currently performs with Floydian Trip, New England’s Premier Pink Floyd Tribute.
