Soprano

Lisa Rainsong’s musical life integrates composition, education, vocal performance, and natural history.  She earned her Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition from Cleveland Institute of Music and is a member of CIM’s Music Theory faculty. She is also a professional singer who performs as both a soprano soloist and as a choral musician, singing with ensembles including Quire Cleveland and Ensemble Lautenkonzert. Lisa earned a Naturalist Certificate from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and now teaches classes on bird song and insect song identification throughout Northeast Ohio.  In addition, she does field research on crickets and katydids—the “singing insects”—for the Geauga (County) Park District and presents seminars and in-service training on her work with the Earth’s first musicians. More information on her musical and naturalist work can be found at her website.
