Jo Ellen Miller was a 1999 recipient of the Monmouth Civic Chorus annual scholarship, followed by recent appearances as soloist in Handel's Messiah and Faure's Requiem. A graduate of Middletown High School South, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan, she has spent the last several years working professionally in the operatic, oratorio, and contemporary music worlds. She has sung with the Boston Pops, Opera Theatre of Pittsburgh, Opera New Jersey, Sarasota Opera, Mark Morris Dance Group, New Jersey State Youth Orchestra, Opera Company of Brooklyn, Tanglewood Music Center, and the Ravinia Festival, among others.

She was a winner of the 2004 National Opera Association scholarship, and the Grace B. Jackson Prize for Vocal Fellows from Tanglewood Music Center. Equally at home on the musical theater stage, she appeared in 2006 as Abigail Adams in 1776 with Phoenix Productions. She is delighted to return to Monmouth County for this recital of her favorite songs and arias to benefit the Monmouth Civic Chorus.
