4th Season with Seraphic Fire
Austin, TX
Grammy-winning artist Gitanjali Mathur is hailed as having "skyrocketing coloratura", "fluid and dexterous voice," "piercingly clear soprano" and being a "natural and convincing comedic actress." Originally from India, she grew up learning North Indian Classical music. After completing her Bachelor's, Master's, and Performer Diploma Degrees in vocal performance along with minors in computer science and mathematics from Indiana University, she moved to Austin, TX, and started pursuing her career. She performs regularly with Texas Early Music Project, Ensemble viii, La Follia, True Concord Voices and Orchestra, the Victoria Bach Festival, Texas Bach Festival, Grammy-nominated ensemble Seraphic Fire, and the Grammy-winning ensemble Conspirare. She has sung with the Oregon Bach Festival, Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble.
Ms. Mathur was nominated in 2018 in the Austin Critics Table Awards for “Classical Best Singer.” She made her solo Carnegie Hall debut with Helmuth Rilling in J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and fondly remembers her time singing with Maestro Rilling at the Oregon Bach Festival. She has performed in the lead female roles in Pergolesi’s intermezzo La Serva Padrona in 2009, Telemann’s comic opera Pimpinone in 2018, and Galatea in Handel’s Acis and Galatea with American Baroque Opera in 2022. In 2020, she birthed the idea, performed in, and co-produced an online talk-show-style mini-series featuring lullabies and songs of comfort from around the world called “Night Music!"
