Jenene Caramielo brings Pop to Broadway to the Highlands Performing Arts Center at 7:30 P.M. Sunday, July 16.
Before traveling the globe selling out top cabaret rooms such as Feinstein’s 54 Below in New York City and the Royal Room in Palm Beach or as a sought-after headliner on luxury cruise lines Regent, Oceania, and Crystal, Jenene honed her craft with a wide variety of experiences and education.
From her early work in regional theater musicals such as The Music Man and Fiddler on the Roof, to opera workshops including Aida, Jenene’s lifelong training and work in voice, dance, piano, acting, and improvisation has delighted audiences the world over.
Jenene studied classical voice at the Civic Light Opera in Pittsburgh, as well as Carnegie Mellon University, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater from Shenandoah Conservatory. A true crossover entertainer, she is as adept at belting a Celine Dion or Whitney Houston song as she is performing an aria or captivating audiences with Broadway show tunes.
Jenene has shared a stage with Chicago, opened for the Beach Boys, kicked off Major League Baseball games with our National Anthem, sung for celebrities and world leaders, and performed at some of the most exclusive private country clubs in the United States. She says, though, that her greatest honor to date was performing at the Governor’s Ball at The White House backed by the United States Marine Band, Navy Sea Chanters, and Air Force Singing Sergeants.
“Thrilling voice…ability to roll from genres of music from today’s pop to opera at a level that few reach… Jenene Caramielo performs at an elite level in so many genres.” – Broadway World
“I was motivated by Jenene’s commanding talent and inspired by her genuine warmth and kindness. She captivated the room with her first note, and I marveled at her tremendous skill and seemingly effortless versatility as she leapt from opera to show tunes with thrilling success.” – Peter Wilson, Former Senior Enlisted Musical Advisor to The White House and Marine Violinist to Five Presidents (1990-2020).
