Sinéad White
Soprano
Praised for her "luminous soprano" (The Whole Note), "gorgeous and subtle vocal palette" (La Scena Musicale), "soft and dreamy vocals" (Oxford Daily Info, UK) and "lovely, precise coloratura" (OperaRamblings), Irish-born soprano Sinéad White is based in Toronto, Canada and maintains an active performing and teaching schedule in North America. She performs regularly with ensembles such as Toronto Mendelssohn Singers, Theatre of Early Music, the Toronto Bach Festival and Tafelmusik Orchestra & Chamber Choir.
She and lutenist Jonathan Stuchbery founded Duo Oriana, a soprano/lute duo dedicated to music of the renaissance and baroque alongside arrangements of folk music from Ireland, Great Britain and beyond. Their debut album How Like a Golden Dream released with Leaf Music this year and was generously supported by Canada Council for the Arts and FACTOR Canada.
She has performed as a soloist with groups such as Victoria Baroque, Early Music Vancouver, Toronto Bach Festival, Theatre of Early Music, the Nota Bene Players, Music and Beyond Festival (Ottawa), Sweetwater Music Festival, Boston Early Music Festival, Kamloops Symphony, Chilliwack Symphony, and the Okanagan Festival Singers.
Her training includes her time as a young artist at the Boston Early Music Festival, the Ton Koopman Academy in the Netherlands, an Art of Song Fellowship at the Toronto Summer Music Festival and the Victoria Conservatory of Music Summer Program. Sinéad is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Historical Performance at the University of Toronto.
