Bachelor of Music, Florida State University
Master of Music, George Peabody College
Doctor of Musical Arts, George Peabody College
Performance Certificate, Franz-Schubert-Institute in Austria
First receiving national recognition as a
featured recitalist in the 1980 National Public Radio Art of
Song series, Dr. Sharon Mabry’s sensitive interpretation of
traditional and contemporary music has placed her in demand as a
recitalist, soloist with symphony orchestras and a master
teacher of vocal techniques. A frequent guest artist at
numerous national and international music festivals, Mabry has
premiered works by more than 30 composers and new works are
written continually for her.
Mabry’s recordings – each of which
showcases works by contemporary composers or women composers –
have received outstanding critical acclaim and airplay on FM
radio stations around the world. Released by Capstone, her
latest CD, “Music by Women: A Celebration,” features works by
Lili Boulanger, Rhian Samuel, Elizabeth Vercoe and Mary Howe.
As an APSU professor, Mabry has received
the Richard M. Hawkins Award and Distinguished Professor Award,
the University’s highest awards for creativity and teaching,
respectively. Since 1985, she has written “New Directions,” a
column for the NATS “Journal of Singing” which discusses trends
in contemporary music. Her book, “Exploring Twentieth Century
Vocal Music,” is published by Oxford University Press.
