“a masterful hand
and oneness with the music”
Celebrated for her “masterful hand and oneness with the music,” American conductor Maria Sensi Sellner is a sought-after collaborator and visionary impresario for the 21st century. The first three-time winner of the American Prize for Opera Conducting and a proud alumnus of The Dallas Opera’s Hart Institute for Women Conductors, Ms. Sensi Sellner is known for her passionate artistry and versatility. She is the founder and Artistic and General Director of Resonance Works, a visionary, genre-defying performing arts organization committed to socially-relevant, innovative productions of new and rarely-performed works, co-founder and lead producer of the Decameron Opera Coalition; and a frequent cover conductor for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Ms. Sensi Sellner is regarded for her mastery of bel canto and contemporary music, as well as her interpretations of the works of Giuseppe Verdi and J.S. Bach.
“When Maria is conducting opera, she is in her element… tempos are well chosen; incisive without being pushed; voices are robust and rarely covered; the drama unfolds with energy and conviction; ensemble is extraordinarily tight…
Mightily impressive, this is excellent work.”
