Jillon Stoppels Dupree

Jillon Stoppels Dupree has been described as “one of the country’s top baroque musicians; a superior soloist and top-ranked ensemble player, and a baroque star” (Seattle Times). She has performed with the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, San Francisco Bach Choir, San Francisco Choral Artists, and Early Music Seattle; her chamber music collaborations have included such artists as Rachell Ellen Wong, Julianne Baird, Ellen Hargis, Ingrid Matthews, Janet See, and Marion Verbruggen.
Jillon received Fulbright and Beebe Fund grants for study abroad, and her teachers included Gustav Leonhardt, Kenneth Gilbert, Edward Parmentier and Lisa Goode Crawford. An honors graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory and Masters recipient at the University of Michigan, Ms. Dupree has taught at both her alma maters, at Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts, and at the University of Washington; she has presented master classes at Stanford University and the University of Michigan. She received the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist award for contemporary harpsichord music, and her world-premiere recording of Philip Glass’s Concerto for Harpsichord was heralded as “Superb!” by the New York Times. She can be heard on the Meridian, Decca, Orange Mountain, Wildboar and Delos labels, and her solo Bach recording from Centaur Records has been described as “harpsichord musicianship at its best: expressive, passionate and inspiring.” (American Record Guide).
