About

Colombian-American soprano Stephanie Lamprea is an architect of new sounds and expressions as a performer, curator and improviser, specializing in contemporary classical repertoire. Trained as an operatic coloratura, she uses her voice as a mechanism of avant-garde performance art with an entire spectrum of vocal colors (including operatic style, straight tone, sputters and throat noises), creating “maniacal shifts of vocal production and character… like an icepick through the skull” (Jason Eckardt). She has received awards from the John Cage Orgel Stiftung, the St. Botolph Club Foundation and the Puffin Foundation. Works which Stephanie has performed include Kate Soper's IPSA DIXIT, Georges Aperghis' 14 Recitations, and Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire. Stephanie has performed at Roulette Intermedium, National Sawdust, the Kennedy Center, Columbia University, Center for New Music (San Francisco), and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
