Two-time GRAMMY® award nominee for Best Classical Vocal Solo Album for 40@40 (2024) and Confessions (2022), soprano Laura Strickling is celebrated for her work performing and promoting contemporary music, with an emphasis on new additions to the modern song canon. Host of SongCycle – a podcast covering all things song – she curated The NewMusicShelf Anthology for Soprano, and has commissioned songs from 55 composers (and counting) through her ambitious 40@40 Project. Her “flexible voice, crystalline diction, and warm presence,” (New York Times) have made her a welcome guest soloist for a range of opera, oratorio, concert, and chamber works – from Bach to Britten and beyond.
