Kristin Gornstein
American mezzo-soprano Kristin Gornstein is increasingly recognized for her "rich-voiced" timbre and "uncannily silky legato" (New York Times) across the US. With a career spanning historically informed performance and contemporary premieres, she brings a “deep, spacious sound” (Parterre) and rigorous stylistic integrity to the operatic, concert, and recital stage.
Specializing in the works of the late Baroque era, Ms. Gornstein has earned particular acclaim for her interpretations of Johann Adolph Hasse. Her portrayal of Piramo in Piramo e Tisbe (The Little Opera Theatre of New York) was described by Opera News as "masterful... a truly flawless lyric mezzo." Recently she has appeared as Antonio in Hasse’s Antonio e Cleopatra with the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado, and alto soloist in Hasse’s Laudate Pueri with Crescendo Baroque.
A versatile ensemble artist and soloist, Ms. Gornstein is a member of both the Philharmonia Baroque Choir and Lorelei Ensemble, and has sung with Grammy-winning ensemble Seraphic Fire. Her concert experience includes the alto solos in Händel’s Messiah (Naples Philharmonic), Vivaldi’s Gloria (Sacred Music in a Sacred Space), and Mozart’s Mass in C Minor (American University of Beirut). As an ensemble member she has appeared at Lincoln Center with the New York Philharmonic (Jeanne d’Arc au Bûcher) and toured with the Mark Morris Dance Group in their acclaimed production of Dido and Aeneas.
