About kendra

Kendra Lund (she/her) is a Washingtonian soprano, recital curator, educator, and arts administrator. Lund is currently completing her Master’s degree in Voice Performance and Literature at the Eastman School of Music as well as a Catherine Filene Shouse Certificate of Achievement with Eastman’s Institute for Music Leadership. Lund holds a Bachelor’s degree from Furman University in Vocal Performance and German Studies.

Lund recently won the prestigious Art Song Prize alongside her collaborator, Renea Li. While attending Songfest this summer, the two will perform the program they created, inspired by the overconsumption of clean water by A.I. data centers.

Previous performances include Barber’s A Hand of Bridge (Geraldine), Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld (Diana), Handel’s Agrippina (Poppea), and Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance (Mabel). In concert repertoire she has performed solos in Handel’s Messiah, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and the world premiere of Harbison’s “Hidden Paths.”

Lund holds a position as a voice and piano instructor at Aria’s School of Music and Art in Greece, NY. She values arts education and strives to create a safe space for various kinds of musical expression for her students.

Lund is passionate about recital curation, recently producing “Eco-Art Song and the Climate Crisis,” which raised several hundred dollars for a local climate non-profit. Lund plans to raise awareness of sociopolitical and environmental issues and create tangible change through recital curation, education, and inspiring and moving performances.
