The Arizona Republic has deemed Jenn Raithel Newman an "audience favorite" while critic Kenneth LaFave has noted the soprano to sing with "spin and beauty". With a diverse repertoire of roles to her credit ranging from "Pamina" in Die Zauberflöte to "Sister Amnesia" in Nunsense, Ms. Newman's unique niche as a crossover artist has made her a sought after performer in numerous Pops and Classics concerts alike. A frequent performer with The Phoenix Symphony, recent engagements have also included performances with the Winston-Salem Symphony and Arizona Musicfest. Ms. Newman studied at Arizona State University with Darleen Kliewer-Britton, and in New York with Maria Spacagna. Raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Ms. Newman makes her home in Arizona with her husband, bass-baritone James Newman, and their young daughter Lyla Grace.
