Elisabeth Scholl

Elisabeth Scholl began her vocal education with Eduard Wollitz. This was followed by studies in early music and historic performance practice at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis under René Jacobs. There she developed a strong interest in musicological research, editing musical manuscripts and performing them. One result of these studies is a CD with cantatas by Alessandro Scarlatti, produced in November 2004 with Modo Antiquo. Elisabeth Scholl has been invited to prestigious European festivals, and has worked with conductors such as René Jacobs, Jos van Immerseel, Frieder Bernius, Enoch zu Guttenberg, Bruno Weil, Nicholas McGegan, Sir Neville Marriner and others. In addition to her concert performances, she gives lieder recitals and has been invited to perform, among others, at the Aalto Theater in Essen (countess in Mozart’s Figaro, Caio in Vivaldi’s Ottone in villa), at the Vlaamse Opera in Ghent (Mozart’s Donna Elvira) and the Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin (Haydn, Il mondo della luna). Since 2009 she has taught as Professor for Baroque Singing at the Musikhochschule in Nuremberg.
