Fearless soprano Henriët Fourie sings with “luminous tone and security,” (Chicago Classical Review) deemed “stellar… finely calibrated, with subtle variations in color” by The Chicago Tribune. Emitting an uncommon “vibrancy and urgency” (Chicago Classical Review) in performance, Fourie has featured as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Elgin Symphony Orchestra, and Bella Voce Sinfonia.
Conductors she has worked with include Marin Alsop, Ricardo Muti and Carlos Kalmar, on stages including Carnegie Hall, Chicago’s Orchestra Hall, and Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park. A dauntless performer offering “refreshingly modern interpretation(s)... (and) finely nuanced renderings of complex music,” (Namibia Economist) Fourie eclipses the challenges of demanding new music with passion and poise. She has premiered numerous works soloing with New Music DePaul, June in Buffalo, and the Outside the Box Festival. A native of South Africa, Fourie resides in Portland, Oregon and holds degrees from the College of Charleston and DePaul University. Learn more about Henriët at the following links
