Susan Platts brings a uniquely rich and wide-ranging voice to the concert and recital repertoire, and is particularly esteemed for her performances of Mahler’s works. She is a Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative Fellow, which gave her the opportunity to study with Jessye Norman.

Platts has performed with, among others, The Philadelphia, Cleveland and Minnesota Orchestras, Orchestre de Paris and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. She has collaborated with leading conductors including Marin Alsop, Sir Andrew Davis and Osmo Vänskä. Recent highlights include her Royal Opera House, Covent Garden debut in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, John Adams’ Nixon in China for the BBC Proms, and the premiere of a new work by Howard Shore with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

Platts features on a Naxos release of the chamber version of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (8.573536). She has recorded the full version of the work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Sympony Orchestra, Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen with the Smithsonian Chamber Players, and the Lieder of Robert and Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms on the ATMA Classique label.
