This season, Elaine looks forward to engagements with Cambridge’s Coro Dante as the soprano soloist in Vivaldi’s Gloria, as the soprano soloist with The New England Symphony in a concert of works by J.S. Bach, and in recital with J.J. Penna in a performance of Messiaen’s rarely heard “Harawi”. Most recently, Elaine returned to the Yellow Barn Chamber Music Festival where she appeared in recital with famed pianist Gil Kalish, and also performed works by György Ligeti, Earl Kim, Claude Vivier, and György Kurtág. During the 2020-2021 season, Elaine participated in a concert of Bach arias and duets with Emmanuel Music, a staged production of Poulenc's La voix humaine in Boston's Jordan Hall with pianist J.J. Penna, and in a concert of new works by women composers with NYFOS Next.

During the 2018/2019 season, Daiber performed the role of Countess Almaviva in her first Le Nozze di Figaro, conducted by Robert Tweeten, and joined the Symphony Pro Musica as the soprano soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana and Dvorak's Te deum, conducted by Mark Churchill. She was also invited back to the Tanglewood Music Center as a second year Vocal Fellow where she sang the principal role of Dede in a new production of Leonard Bernstein's A Quiet Place, hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “the most effective version yet.” In summer of 2019, Daiber joined the Bard Music Festival in a recital celebrating composer Erich Korngold with pianist Kayo Iwama and appeared with the New York Festival of Song (NYFOS) as an Emerging Artist in NYFOS@NorthFork for the concert, “Ports of Call." 

Recent engagements have seen the versatile soprano in a variety of performances, including Paquette in Bernstein's Candide with The Orchestra Now, conducted by James Bagwell, as well as her debut with the Albany Symphony excerpting the Countess in Mozart's Le Nozze Di Figaro. A vocal fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center in 2017, highlights included performing in a concert of Ella Fitzgerald songs alongside Mezzo-Soprano Stephanie Blythe and Soprano Dawn Upshaw and selections from Berg’s Sieben Frühe Lieder with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra.

A fierce lover of new music, Daiber recently performed the US premiere of Helen’s Grime’s Bright Travellers in a Boston Symphony Orchestra Prelude Concert. Previous new music engagements include the role of Milica in the 2018 production of Ana Sokolović's Svadba at the Richard B. Fisher Center, Steve Reich’s Drumming with Sō Percussion, the Boston premiere of composer Sky Macklay’s Glossolalia, and the world premiere performance of Nathan Davis’s The Sand Reckoner at the Festival of Contemporary Music at Tanglewood.

Daiber earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Vocal Performance with an emphasis in Theater and is a recent graduate of the Bard Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program. Most recently, she received her Artist Diploma in Opera Studies at the New England Conservatory.
