INTERVIEW: Amy Owens: Rebellious Theatrics
ZO Magazine: “Looking back, it was inevitable.” That’s how Amy Owens views her reality comprised of music. There was no other way her life could’ve turned out. As a child, her mother was the choir director at their church and a young Amy would often find herself in the adult choir helping them stay in tune. At least “that’s what my mother would say,” she remembers fondly with a bit of humor.
INTERVIEW: Soprano & Conductor Amy Owens’ Infinitely Curious and Joyful Journey
Opera Wire: As a coloratura soprano, she gravitates more to recitals and concert operas rather than staged productions. She released an electronic pop album this summer, right before attending the Linda and Mitch Hart Dallas Institute for Women Conductors. Just for the fun of it, Owens took on rare (and more difficult) version of a famous Strauss aria. And most recently, she recorded an album of Bernstein’s music set for release this coming April. She also plays a mean accordion.
Video Premiere: “Centauri” By Amy Owens ft. Charles Yang - World Premiere
Live in Limbo: From The Artist : “‘Centauri’ refers to the binary star Alpha Centauri AB, which consists of two stars that are so close together that they appear to be a single star, one of the brightest in the night sky. The idea that two stars in proximity shine brighter is a beautiful metaphor for human interaction and brushes with love. That’s what this piece is about. A theme rises up from one voice calling for a companion, who responds with his own variation on the theme, and the two voices build and weave together to a climactic burst of musical energy. It is sensual, primitive, and expansive: two together brighter than one.

Vents Magazine: Can you talk to us more about your latest single “Discreet”?
“Discreet” is the result of a musical collaboration between composer/producer Howard “Merlin” Wulkan and myself. This track highlights the unexpected combination of Howard’s aesthetic, coming from an industrial and electronic background, and mine, which is based in stage music (mostly opera and musical theater).
INTERVIEW: Be More Than One Thing

“Amy Owens is a wonderfully unique coloratura soprano who never stops creating. I love her positive energy and cheerful personality. She is bright, she is fierce and her love for music is contagious.
