Charis Duke

Opera Director

Charis is a multi-faceted musician who enjoys composing everything from children’s operas to avant-garde electro acoustic music. Her inherent love for all the dramatic arts has taken many forms; composing original scores, coaching and directing plays and music for children’s and regional theaters, as well as university programs.

In May 2019 she had the privilege of traveling to New Mexico to oversee the premiere of her newest children’s opera, Cinderella Times Three. Every year Charis returns to Trevose Day to compose and direct their school opera performed in April.

When not creating new music, Charis can be found growing organic tomatoes.
