Mellissa Hughes

Look up versatile in the dictionary and you might see a photo of soprano Mellissa Hughes next to it. Known among early-music cognoscenti as a member of the Trinity Choir and to new-music fans for her work with Alarm Will Sound, John Zorn and Victoire, Hughes plays Lincoln Center in her own idiosyncratic way: one voice; one laptop; new music by Jacob Cooper, Ted Hearne and Christopher Cerrone; and fresh spins on Michael Jackson, Kate Bush and Björk.
