5th Season with Seraphic Fire
Philadelphia, PA
Mezzo-soprano Gabriela Estephanie Solís lends her "rich tone" and “moving expressiveness” (San Francisco Classical Voice) to an expansive range of repertoire spanning medieval through contemporary periods. Notable solo performances from past seasons include Copland’s In the Beginning (University of Notre Dame), Mozart’s Requiem (Marin Symphony), Brahms’s Alto Rhapsody (Grace & St.Peter’s, Baltimore), and selections from Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder (Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra).
An avid interpreter of Baroque repertoire, she has collaborated with preeminent early music organizations such as Tempesta di Mare, Apollo’s Fire, American Bach Soloists, and the Boston Early Music Festival in performances of Vivaldi’s Juditha Triumphans (Tempesta di Mare), Bach’s B Minor Mass (Apollo’s Fire), Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater (Resonance Berkeley), and Handel’s Messiah (Seraphic Fire), as well as in the roles of Medoro in Handel’s Orlando (BEMF Young Artist Training Program), Bradamante in Handel’s Alcina, and Endimione in Cavalli’s La Calisto.
