Ruth George, Mezzo-Soprano

A lifelong musician, Ruth George began pursuing her vocal study in earnest during high school, taking weekly voice and theory lessons with her grandfather, Dr. Dean Bouzianis. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics with a minor in French from the University of New Hampshire in 2013, continuing to study music theory and vocal performance at the university level. While earning her degree she sang with the UNH Concert Choir and Chamber Singers and performed in lead roles with the UNH Opera Workshop.

Currently, Ruth can be seen as a soloist and full-time member of three of the New Hampshire Seacoast's choirs: Cappella Nova Mundi, Amare Cantare, and Portsmouth Pro Musica. She is in demand as a guest singer for church services, weddings, and funerals in the greater Seacoast area and enjoys collaborating with other local musicians to explore the full potential of music and community. Most recently, Ruth has been volunteering as an on-call singer with the Pease Greeters of Portsmouth, NH, performing the national anthem (American and international, as required) in ceremonies honoring service members traveling to and from their tours of duty.
