Mezzo-Soprano K. Rebecca Oehlers has been an active young artist in the Philadelphia region receiving praise from both conductors and audiences alike. Mrs. Oehlers received her music education from the Mannes College of Music, and Temple University where she studied voice and french horn, both under scholarship. She has been a featured soloist several times with the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, the St. Clement’s Choir of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Classical Symphony, where she collaborated in a concert of 17th Century Spanish Opera with Early Music Soprano Ellen Hargis and the Harp Consort, under the direction of Andrew Lawrence- King. Her discography includes A White Christmas at Longwood Gardens on the DTT Label, Hymns of Heaven and Earth, Music of Tomás Luis de Victoria, and Masses and Motets of Rheinberger and Brahms, all done on the Dorian Records Label. Rebecca has also been heard on numerous radio broadcasts singing Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben and Brahms’ Liebeslieder Walzer. Rebecca has most recently given solo recitals in Aachen and Jülich Germany and is currently on the voice faculty at Drexel University. She sings and plays recorders with the Philadelphia based early music ensemble Quidditas as well as singing with the all-professional choir, The Crossing, under the direction of Donald Nally, which specializes in music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
