In 1998, South-African born vocal coach Rachelle Jonck moved to New York City as Head Coach and Assistant Conductor of Bel Canto at Caramoor (with Will Crutchfield) – a position she still holds. She currently teaches at Westminster Choir College.
Balancing her love for opera and song literature she maintains a busy vocal coaching studio in New York City and Princeton and enjoys recital collaborations whenever her schedule permits. Singers who work with her include established professionals whose careers take them to the largest opera houses of the world as well as younger singers still on the verge of a professional career. While her range of repertoire is wide, she has made a name for herself as a specialist Italian style coach - Handel, Mozart and the bel canto masters, including Verdi.
