TERESA RADOMSKI is Professor of Voice and Consultant for the Center for Voice Disorders at Wake Forest University, where she has taught in the music department since 1977. A versatile performer, her repertoire extends from renaissance and baroque music to contemporary works, many of which have been composed especially for her. Teresa Radomski made her New York debut in 1987 with guitarist John Patykula, in a program of Spanish songs at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. She has since received critical acclaim for her performances as a recitalist and soloist with numerous ensembles, including  Carolina Baroque. A native of New Jersey, Teresa Radomski began her musical training as a pianist and majored in music theory at the Eastman School of Music, where she studied both piano and voice. She completed graduate work in vocal pedagogy and performance at the University of Colorado, and study of the Alexander Technique in London, UK.  Articles on vocal hygiene and technique by Teresa Radomski and her colleagues, including Laryngeal Biomechanics of the Singing Voice, are accessible via the WFU Center for Voice Disorders website, http://www.wfubmc.edu/voice. 
At the Sixth International Congress of Voice Teachers (Vancouver, 2005) she presented a bicentenary tribute to the renowned voice teacher, Manuel Patricio Rodríguez García (1805-1806), which was subsequently published as an article in The Australian Voice (December, 2005).

Teresa Radomski recently recovered a chamber opera, L’isola disabitata(1831) by Manuel del Pópulo Vicente García (1775-1832), which received its modern premiere at Wake Forest University in 2005. She transcribed the opera from the autograph manuscript, and together with her brother, James Radomski, completed a critical edition of L’isola disabitata, which is published by A-R Editions (Middleton, WI, 2006).
