Jennifer Campbell, soprano, is a versatile performer and music educator specializing in classical, choral, musical theater, and jazz styles. Ms. Campbell has appeared with the Duluth Playhouse, Renegade Theater Company, Duluth Festival Opera, Lyric Opera of the North, University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) Opera Theater, and Glensheen Opera. She has been a featured soloist in concert with the UMD Symphony Orchestra, the University of Wisconsin-Superior Music Department, the College of St. Scholastica Early Music Ensemble and the Itasca Community Chorus.

Jenny’s operatic roles include Nedda in Pagliacci, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Nannetta in Falstaff, and Anne Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor. She has been featured as a soprano soloist in Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Handel’s Messiah, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, and Fauré’s Requiem. She recently made her return to the musical theatre stage in the Sondheim Review Putting It Together, as Jenny in Company, and as Cosette in the Duluth Playhouse’s 100th Anniversary production of Les Misérables. Ms. Campbell received Second Place in the 2012 Minnesota District NATS Artist Award Competition, was a 2010 finalist of the Schubert Club Scholarship Contest, a 2009-2010 recipient of the Bakke Choral Scholarship for the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra, and a 2008 graduate division finalist of the Minnesota NATS competition.

As a vocal music educator, for over a decade, she was highly in demand as a private voice instructor in Northern Minnesota, maintaining a busy home studio and serving as an adjunct instructor at University of MN Duluth and The College of Saint Scholastica, as well as being a frequent judge for the MN State High School League solo/ensemble voice competitions and presenting masterclasses for area choral singers. With experience teaching and directing singers of all ages and ability levels, she has focused her energy on both community and church chorus leadership. During her years with the Lake Superior Youth Chorus, she was instrumental in building the program in size, quality, and reputation. Her efforts in these areas earned her the 2017 MN American Choral Director’s Association Arts Advocate Award.

Ms. Campbell graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Luther College and received her Master of Music in Music Performance degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth. She is a founding member of the Twin Ports Choral Project, where she held the roles of Choir Manager and Soprano Section Leader, and now continues to support the organization as a board member and grant writer. Most recently she served as Director of Music at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary in Duluth. She now enjoys a slightly slower-paced life as a homemaker, wife, and mother of two amazing and curious little boys on the banks of the Chippewa River in Central Michigan.

"Jenny Graupmann Campbell had me actually rooting for the first time for Marius to end up with Cosette instead of with Eponine, on the strength of her "In My Life" solo and their "A Heart Full of Love" duet." - Duluth News Tribune

"Her role as the power of love soars over the cast with her clear soprano melodies." (As Nannetta in Falstaff) - Duluth News Tribune

"From beginning to end, soprano Jennifer Graupmann as the plot-maker Susanna is the thread that weaves the Mozart magic. Her singing and expressions are always true to her character, as she knowingly seduces everyone on stage." (As Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro) - Duluth News Tribune
