The soprano Elisabeth Scholl had her early musical experience as a member of the Kiedrich Choir, an ensemble representing a 650-year-old tradition and appeared as a child as the First Boy in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at the Hess State Theatre in Wiesbaden. Her musical training, with a higher degree in musicology, brought a period of study at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with René Jacobs and Richard Levitt and experience at the Basle Opera Studio. Her career has led to collaboration with leading specialists in early music, including René Jacobs, Philip Pickett, Philippe Herreweghe, Ton Koopman and Howard Arman, a number of recordings and second prize in the Flanders Festival Musica Antiqua Competition in 1993.
