After a successful collaboration with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Bach's St Matthew Passion, Kelley returns to Los Angeles to perform with a friend and fellow USC grad KuanFen Liu and the Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra. This marks her first performance of the Brahms Alto rhapsody as well as the mezzo solo in Corigliano's Fern Hill. Following this, she returns to Calgary and Bach for another St. Matthew Passion with Roberto Minczuk and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.
"Kelley O’Connor, a young mezzo-soprano, was stunning. The mezzo has a pretty big night in this work, and some of the most beautiful music, and this showed off O’Connor’s ample power, flexibility and range. The fine, dark coloring of her voice is perfectly matched to this material. "
