Soprano Michelle Broadbent Hatch, a seasoned performer across four continents, holds performance degrees from Utah State University and Brigham Young University. Currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Opera Performance at Arizona State University, she has been a long-time student of Darrell Babidge from the Juilliard School. Hatch also studied with baritone Gordon Hawkins at Arizona State University, Oberlin Conservatory in Italy, and with Daniel Ferro from the Juilliard School. In addition to numerous guest recitalist appearances, she has taken on leading roles in various operas, including Moore’s "The Ballad of Baby Doe," Menotti’s "The Old Maid and the Thief," Vaughan Williams’ "Riders to the Sea," de Falla’s "La Vida Breve," Smetana’s "The Bartered Bride," and the title role in Puccini’s "Suor Angelica."
As the recipient of several scholarships and awards, including BYU Singer of the Year and the Outstanding Opera Performance Award, Hatch triumphed in the Concerto Competition at both of her alma maters and was a district winner in the Metropolitan Opera’s National Council Auditions.
On Jan. 20, Hatch will showcase her favorite arias and art songs, featuring works by Faure, Brahms, Schuman, and Puccini. The recital will also include new repertoire by Mark Adamo, Ricky Ian Gordon, and Jonathan Dove, among others.

of clinical songs they have memorized in collaborations with their peers. The unique
and exciting twist of this jury is that the program will not be known to the performers
until the event begins! The individual and ensemble selections will all be announced to
guests and performers alike at 7pm on Saturday, 1/27/24. The event is free and open to
all friends, family, colleagues, classmates, and community members who wish to cheer
on our seniors at this very special event. We hope to see you there
Jazz Jams

An eagerly awaited tradition around the Music Department is our series of monthly jam sessions, in which a guest artist (or two or three) from outside Cache Valley visits to perform jazz standards with USU students and community members in a relaxed environment. Come and sit in on a tune, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music. Jam sessions are completely unscripted, so you never know what exactly will happen, but it’s great fun watching musicians perform without a net!

Music Scholars Series: Dr. Megan Lavengood
Arts/Entertainment
What is "our music"? As an institution in the intermountain West, USU is located in a place associated with many different kinds of music. The decisions we make about which of these we foreground have profound implications. What do our students deserve to learn? Which faculty have the responsibility—or the right—to teach each repertoire? And how, as a university, do we define the collective “us” we seek to serve? Dr. Megan Lavengood is an Associate Professor and Area Director of Music Theory at George Mason University, where she teaches undergraduate core theory and graduate courses in advanced theory topics. Her research primarily deals with popular music, timbre, synthesizers, and recording techniques. She has also published on video game music, music theory pedagogy, and public music theory.
