Ceceilia Allwein

Point Scholar: 2006-2009

New England Conservatory of Music
B.A., Vocal Performance

Ceceilia studied vocal performance and music theory at New England Conservatory of Music. While there, Ceceilia maintained highest honors on the Dean’s List each semester while frequently performing as a guest soloist and collaborative musician. She volunteered in the Boston community, served as a Resident Assistant, and led the Conservatory’s Queer Performing Arts Alliance. Ceceilia is working full time as an office manager at an event video company, going to school full time and performing as much as possible. Critic Matthew Guerrieri of the Boston Globe recently reviewed one of Ceceilia’s performances of Morton Feldman’s 4 Songs to e.e. Cummings, saying “Soprano Ceceilia Allwein made dulcet work of the delicate, precipitous leaps.”

Ceceilia’s goal is to take an increasingly active role in the performing arts community of Boston by exposing students to influential scholars and performers, fostering community for students who want to make a difference with their art and increasing visibility for performers advocating queer perspectives.
