Jessica Medoff is breaking down barriers, showing her multi-dimensional talents and emotional depth as an actress of stage and screen. She is praised as a performer who, “skillfully employs her trademark vocal versatility to wring out every drop of emotion…”(Harold Journal), and is sought after throughout the United States for her impressive vocal background and dramatic commitment. Lauded for her diversity as singing actor, she is continually engaged in an impressive array of roles, both comedic and dramatic, among performing arts companies and producers spanning film, television, theatre, and opera.
She and her husband pianist Michael Bunchman are creators of two original cabarets, The Truth About Love…and the Usual Lies and Gershwin and Beyond. Critics and audiences alike have raved about their “seamless collaboration” and in a review of The Truth About Love Jon Sobel of blogcritics says “If Jessica Medoff does not have a fan club, someone should start one”.
Jessica holds two degrees in Classical Vocal Performance. Favorite operatic roles include Judith in Bluebeard’s Castle, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Giulietta in Verdi’s Un Giorno di Regno, and Marguerite in Faust. On the concert stage she has twice been honored to sing the soloist in the Faure Requiem in Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall. Incredibly active as a POPS soloist she has had the opportunity to star with many orchestras including New Haven Symphony, Ridgefield Symphony, Breckenridge Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival with Maestro David Zinman, and the Las Cruces Symphony.
