A recent transplant to Denver, Colorado, Marjorie Bunday is a critically acclaimed oratorio and concert singer known not only for her “warm and pure-toned mezzo ” voice (Joe Banno, Washington Post 6/18/2010), but also for impressive range, versatility, and musicianship. An October 2010 Denver Post review praised "Bunday's honey-toned, refined reading of [Monteverdi's] 'Laudate Dominum in sanctis eius' motet."

She has been soloist (both contralto and mezzo-soprano roles) in, among many other works, J.S. Bach Christmas Oratorio, St. John Passion, B Minor Mass, Magnificat, and many cantatas; C.P.E. Bach Magnificat; Vivaldi Gloria; Duruflé and Fauré Requiems; Handel Messiah and Dixit Dominus; Mozart Requiem; Pergolesi Stabat Mater; Monteverdi Vespers of 1610; Copland In the Beginning; and Mendelssohn Elijah. During her years in Washington, DC, she performed solo work with choral groups that include Choral Arts Society of Washington, Washington Bach Consort, Catholic University of America Chorus & Orchestra, Alexandria Choral Society, Cantate Chamber Singers, Washington Choral Ensemble, Woodley Ensemble, and Washington Men's Camerata. Ms. Bunday's work beyond DC has taken her to oratorio and concert performances with the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado, Denver Bach Society, Monteverdi 2010 in Boulder and Denver, University of Virginia Glee Club, and Musikanten Montana.

Noted for excellence in the early music repertoire, she is a regular collaborator with the early music group Armonia Nova (Constance Whiteside), whose repertoire includes Hildegard von Bingen and medieval through renaissance European music performed by voices, medieval or renaissance harp, and vielle or viol. Armonia Nova performed at the 2011 Boston Early Music Fringe Festival, and the ensemble has appeared at DePauw University in Indiana and the Washington Early Music Festival.  Bunday has also sung with the English early music ensemble Magnificat (Philip Cave), Hesperus (Tina Chancey), and has been featured on National Public Radio's "Performance Today" both with Magnificat and with a pick-up group of musicians performing Mexican and Spanish Baroque villancicos for a Christmas program.

Ms. Bunday, in great demand as an ensemble singer, is a current member of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and she has been in the alto section of the Opera Lafayette and Washington Bach Consort choruses (both period instrument ensembles) and the Woodley Ensemble (a chamber choir specializing in modern choral repertoire). She was active in a variety of recording projects, choir work, and church music during her years in the Washington, DC area, including prior positions at Christ Church Georgetown and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (as a cantor). In Denver, she is a staff singer at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral.

A frequent recitalist, Bunday is dedicated to presenting new music as well as old and has added her voice to many US and world premieres of art song, choral music, and chamber music. She collaborates regularly with mandolinist Neil Gladd in innovative programs of music written or adapted for voice and mandolin from the 18th through 21st centuries. She has soloed in premiere performances from composers Elizabeth Vercoe, Christopher Marshall, Neil Gladd, Victor Kioulaphides, Richard Rice, Christopher Hoh, Terrance Johns, David Harris, Mimi Stevens, and Bohuslav Martinů (the US premiere of The Prophecy of Isaiah, more than 40 years after it was composed).

The 2011-2012 season will include performances as a soloist with Armonia Nova, Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado, St. Martin's Chamber Choir, Seicento Baroque Ensemble, St. John's Cathedral Choir, and Musikanten Montana in music by Bach, Handel, Purcell, and more.
