Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman has delivered the kind of performances that suggest her stardom is inevitable. Her deep commitment to recital singing shows in her fine and subtle phrasing, complete command of the text, unmistakable personal charisma, and unusually thoughtful programming, not to mention her radiant voice.

Brueggergosman is known for pairing the familiar and the rarely heard, and for thinking in detail about what her audiences want to hear. She communicates the beauty in her musical selections with captivating and intimate charm.

“The voice is stunning and…may be one of the great voices of the 21st century.”
—The Toronto Star
