Dawn Upshaw Ms. Upshaw Upshaw
In this climate of resistance to new music, the soprano Dawn Upshaw has created a major career by bucking the trend and staking out contemporary music, in ways that audiences seem to like. Taking a random sampling from Ms. Upshaw's calendar this season: Osvaldo Golijov's ''Ainadamar'' in Santa Fe, New York and London; Lukas Foss's ''Time Cycle'' with the Boston Symphony Orchestra; ''El Niño,'' by John Adams, in Los Angeles; Henri Dutilleux's ''Correspondances'' in Washington. What is distinctive about Ms. Upshaw's career is that she has managed to establish herself as a new-music specialist without the sense of marginalization that generally accompanies the term.
