Praised for her “captivating and sensual” singing (Riptide Magazine), soprano Anika Kildegaard is gaining recognition as an interpreter of music across multiple genres. Her solo work spans centuries, from baroque to contemporary styles. Recent solo appearances include Yves Castagnet’s Salve Regina, Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Missa Brevis in F and G, and Osnat Netzer’s I won’t be outrun by a cavalry of snails. Anika made her Carnegie Hall solo debut in fall 2024, singing music of Gabriela Ortiz alongside vocal ensemble The Crossing. Her soprano/double bass duo LIGAMENT has commissioned and premiered dozens of new pieces on concert series across the USA, including the Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project and the Kansas City Contemporary Music Festival. A genre-defying album of new works, Missa brevis Abbaye de Thélème, written for her by French composer Jean-François Charles was released, to international acclaim, in late fall 2023. She has sung with such notable groups as The Vocal Essence Ensemble Singers, Alarm Will Sound, Ensemble VIII, and is a core member of GRAMMY award winning ensemble The Crossing.
