The Orchestra 
Canada’s superstar soprano Karina Gauvin has impressed audiences and critics the world over with her luscious timbre, profound musicality and wide vocal range. The Globe and Mail calls her "one of the dream sopranos of our time," who in turn is "distinctive, sophisticated, deeply intuitive, a questioning and fearless artist." Her repertoire ranges from the music of Johann Sebastian Bach to Luciano Berio and she has sung with many major orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Toronto Symphony, as well as period instrument groups like Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Musica Antiqua Köln, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Les Violons du Roy, and Accademia Bizantina. On the operatic or concert stage, she has performed with conductors as diverse as Charles Dutoit, Kent Nagano, Semyon Bichkov, Roger Norrington, Christopher Hogwood, Alan Curtis, Helmuth Rilling, Bernard Labadie and Christophe Rousset. Also active as a recitalist, she has collaborated with several chamber music ensembles and with pianists Marc-André Hamelin, Michael McMahon and Roger Vignoles.
The current season focuses on Mahler’s 2ndSymphony, which Gauvin will perform with the San Francisco Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas, at the Grant Park Festival, and with the Orchestre Metropolitain in Montreal. She will make her long-awaited debut with the New York Philharmonic in Messiah, a work to be repeated with the Calgary Philharmonic. In addition, she will appear with the St. Louis Symphony, Winnipeg Symphony and Columbus Symphony.
Gauvin’s outstanding performances have been recognized in prestigious competitions worldwide. She won First Prize at the CBC Young Performers Competition and received the Lieder and Public’s prize at the s’Hertogenbosch International Vocal Competition in the Netherlands. In 2000 she was honored with the Opus Award as "Performer of the Year". Other awards include the Virginia Parker Prize and the Maggie Teyte Memorial Prize in London. A graduate of the Montreal Conservatory of Music, Karina Gauvin studied with Ms. Marie Daveluy and pursued her postgraduate study with Pamela Bowden at the Royal Scottish Academy in Glasgow.
