Jack innes, b.a.
Jack Innes is thrilled to come back home to MAVEN after completing his degrees in Vocal Performance and French at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While there, he sang in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Starveling) and L'incoronazione di Poppea (Famigliari/Consulo) with the University Opera, as well as in scenes from Le nozze di Figaro (Figaro) and Die Zauberflöte (Papageno) with the UW Opera Workshop. Outside of the UW, Jack has had the pleasure of singing with several Madison-area performance organizations, such as Fresco Opera Theatre, the Madison Savoyards, and Just Bach. A huge fan of early music, Jack is a recent Honoree in ARTEK Early Music's yearly Madrigal Madness festival, and he recently presented a virtual lecture-recital comprising works from the Mercure galant, a seventeenth-century French cultural magazine.
He looks forward to helping musicians find their paths as the world springs back into life in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
