Joanna Asia Mieleszko

Interested in learning the fundamentals of singing? How to approach a song? Music theory? Sight singing?

My strategy as a teacher is to provide you the tools with which you can make informed and deliberate choices with your voice.

I am professionally trained and specialize in classical and ukrainian (білий голос/biały głos) folk singing but I have students across all genres, backgrounds, and aspirations. No matter what kinds of songs you want to sing -- the foundations are the same as are the goals: healthy, deliberate, and sustainable noise-making.

Feel free to email me (mszko@mail.com) to learn more or schedule a lesson by hitting "schedule an appointment"

Looking forward to making noise with you!

ASIA MIELESZKO is an NYC-bred Polish-American mezzosoprano and conductor. She likewise moonlights as a dilettante harpist, retired pianist rediscovering impressionism, and diner coffee devotee. Her musical endeavors oscillate between preserving the (very) old and pioneering the daringly new.

Recent concert highlights include her debut at the inaugural Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival, both directing and performing in David Lang’s Mile-Long Opera, singing alongside the legendary Maria Farantouri in Carnegie Hall, and ushering in numerous world premieres with the Russian Chamber Chorus of New York, Ember Ensemble, Hunter Opera Theatre, and her own group: AEON Ensemble.

At the helm of AEON Ensemble, Asia has not only premiered over 35 new works and commissions but has given contemporary compositions a permanent spot in the canon of composed music. The group specializes in synaesthetic collaborations, improvisation, and under-performed works of the 20th an 21st centuries, providing immersive and accessible performances in venues as black tie as Carnegie Hall, Symphony Space, the DiMenna Center, and Princeton University, and as DIY as The Baumann, The Cell, The Secret Theatre, and your local dive bar.

As the musical director of Ukrainian Village Voices, she concluded an ethnographic and performance tour in Ukraine which culminated in a sold-out multi-media performance at the Ukrainian Museum in New York City in 2018.
