Fanny Lora
Fanny Lora is a Dominican-American mezzo-soprano, Alexander Technique teacher, and passionate advocate for Hispanic classical music — a repertoire she believes is one of the great underrepresented gems of the classical world.
​
Born from a deep conviction that Hispanic communities deserve to hear and claim their own musical heritage, Fanny researches forgotten composers, builds original concert programs, and brings Spanish-language classical music to audiences encountering it for the very first time. For her, every concert is an act of cultural preservation — and an open invitation.
​
Over more than a decade, she has created seven original touring programs, performing for over 1,000 audience members across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Washington D.C., Spain and the Dominican Republic — including two international tours to the Teatro Nacional, the DR's premier performance venue.
​
Her current production, Mano a Mano: Arias in Dialogue, places iconic European opera in conversation with the rich world of Spanish and Latin American classical repertoire. This season features seven world premieres of newly arranged works by composer Laura Intravia, commissioned by Fanny and performed with a Boston-based chamber ensemble. Supported by the Framingham Cultural Council and the Mass Cultural Council.
In March 2026, Fanny and the Mano a Mano Ensemble received an Official Citation from the Massachusetts Senate, in recognition of her contributions to the cultural life of the Commonwealth.
​
Fanny holds degrees in Vocal Performance and Music Education from Ithaca College and is a graduate of The Boston Conservatory at Berklee's Alexander Technique Training Program. She maintains a private studio in the MetroWest area offering voice and Alexander Technique instruction.
​
She is a NEST 1 & 2 Program Eligible artist through the New England Foundation for the Arts. Visit www.nefa.org for details.
Fanny lives in Holliston, MA, with her husband and two children. Follow her on Instagram and TikTok at @fannyloraartist
