Biography
Described as a singer ”who thoroughly captures the imagination” by the Albuquerque Journal, soprano Kathryn Mueller has also been praised by San Francisco Classical Voice for her “lovely tone and easy agility.” Her frequent solo concert engagements across the United States include appearances with American Bach Soloists, Portland Baroque Orchestra, the Washington Bach Consort, Santa Fe Pro Musica, Phoenix Symphony, New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, Winston-Salem Symphony, Tucson Symphony Orchestra, Miami's Firebird Orchestra, Atlanta's New Trinity Baroque, and Chicago's Ars Antigua. She collaborates as a guest artist with the award-winning early music group Wayward Sisters, and has also sung operatic roles with companies including Arizona Opera and Bach Collegium San Diego.
Kathryn recorded two GRAMMY-nominated albums with Seraphic Fire, and is featured as a soloist on recordings by New Trinity Baroque, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Tucson Chamber Artists, and Seraphic Fire, including Seraphic Fire’s best-selling Monteverdi Vespers of 1610, which reached the top of the iTunes classical chart.
In 2011 Kathryn was one of four fellows in the prestigious Adams Vocal Master Class at the Carmel Bach Festival. She was a finalist in the 2012 and 2013 Oratorio Society of New York's Solo Competition, winning the Frances MacEachron Award in 2013. Kathryn's soprano duo Les Sirènes was one of 6 finalist groups in Early Music America's 2012 Baroque Performance Competition.
Kathryn gave the world premiere of Ananda Sukarlan’s song cycle Love and Variations, commissioned for her vocal-piano ensemble, the Swara Sonora Trio. She made her international debut in 2009 on an Indonesian concert tour with the Swara Sonora Trio, closely followed by concerts in Central Mexico with the baroque ensemble Capella Guanajuatensis.
Kathryn holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in music from Brown University and The University of Arizona, respectively, and spent a summer in Salzburg studying Lieder at the Mozarteum. She is based in Raleigh, NC and is on the voice faculties at East Carolina University and North Carolina State University.
