Athlone Artists has added countertenor Corey Hable and soprano Jacqueline Piccolino to its roster.

In a statement Miguel Rodriguez, President & Founder of Athlone Artists said, “I first heard Corey Hable at a voice competition I judged and his full and beautiful countertenor voice was a standout that day. I can’t wait to see the quick rise of this emerging artist! And soprano Jaqueline Piccolino has one of those lush and warm soprano voices that reminds you of the great divas of the past. But she brings her own artistic brilliance into everything she sings.”

Countertenor Hable is recognized for his “rich, Italianate sound” and has performed with the Dream Orchestra of Los Angeles, the Saluzzo Opera Academy, the La Jolla Music Society, and San Luis Obispo’s Bach Week. He was a Finalist in the 2024 Annual Opera Ithaca Edward M. Murray International Competition of Voice, a District Winner in the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition in 2022, a finalist in the Palm Springs Opera Guild Competition and a semi-finalist in the Pasadena Vocal Competition in 2022, 2023, and 2024. He currently studies with soprano Jennifer Rowley.

She was a Studio Artist program at Wolf Trap Opera Company and part of Napa Festival del Sole’s Bouchaine Young Artist Concert Series.
