Lynda Poston-Smith trained in New York City, receiving two degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, with further study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Lynda says that as a young singer her academic training was enhanced by the demands of studio recording in New York. Ms. Poston-Smith lived in Germany for three years. There she performed all the major works of Bach as well as numerous cantatas. She was later selected a performer-fellow at the famed Bach Aria Festival of New York, 1983.

In addition to her extensive experience as a soprano soloist with choral groups and orchestras in Germany, England and throughout the United States, Ms. Poston-Smith performs in solo recital with her pianist husband Robert Smith. She enjoys chamber opera, and sang the title role in the world premiere of Conrad Susa's The Wise Women in 1994. She is a frequent guest of the Ft. Worth Early Music Ensemble. In 1969 she assisted Dorothy Uris in her writing of the book To Sing in English, and is sought after as a diction coach and vocal and choral clinician.

Whether she is singing the title role in a Handel opera, the soprano solo in a Gorecki symphony with orchestra or an evening of music from the 1930s, Lynda Poston-Smith's performance is always marked by radiant tone, flawless interpretation and a rapport and communication that delights and transports the audience.
