The beauty of her voice has been equated to a stream of silver – brilliant, refined and priceless.
Emma Kirkby’s crystal clear voice sheds new light on everything from Hildegard to Schubert.
Behind her sweetness there is world-class musicality that has earned her the honor of being named the 10th best soprano of all time, according to BBC Music Magazine.
Despite her long list of recordings, Kirkby and her accompanist, Jakob Lindberg, prefer concerts and the pleasure of performing live.
Lindberg, who teaches at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London, is known as one of the finest lutenists in the world today. Together, their approach of clarity and stillness over volume and drama make this live operatic event an unforgettable evening.
“If we could hear one of Fra Angelico’s angels singing, this is what it would sound like.” – The Age
