The performing experience of mezzo-soprano Judith Cloud is widespread, including world premiers of contemporary works by American composers to performances with orchestras throughout the United States. She was the mezzo-soprano soloist for the American premier performance of Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time with the Winston-Salem Symphony. As a specialist in twentieth-century vocal music she has been responsible for several commissions of new vocal works. At the same time she has developed as a composer herself, and has numerous compositions to her credit, most notably a cantata, Feet of Jesus, which is featured on a CD entitled “Spirituals” on the BIS Northern Lights label. She is the recipient of two Sorel Medallions for her choral compositions, receiving first prize for Anacreontics for chorus and guitar, performed in Zankel Hall (Carnegie) in 2009.
Another highlight of her career includes singing on the esteemed radio program “Saint Paul Sunday Morning.” She has performed symphonic works such as Ravel's Shéhérezade, Prokofieff’s Alexander Nevsky, Verdi’s Requiem, Bernstein’s Jeremiah Symphony, Mahler symphonies N. 2 and N. 4, Beethoven’s Symphony N. 9, Bach’s St. John Passion, St. Matthew Passion, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
Recent performances include a recital as artist faculty with the Big Bear Lake Song Festival. In July of 2010 she sang one of her own compositions at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) National Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.
