Soprano Ariana Strahl is an international storyteller whose nuanced vocal abilities are equally comfortable in the realms of symphonic works, art song, and opera. A truly international artist, Ms. Strahl is equally at home in the United States and in Germany, having been an artist in residence at the Komische Oper Berlin, where she brought over twenty roles to the stage. Of their portrayal of Tennessee Williams’ Blanche DuBois, critics praised her as highly gifted and smart, attractive and empathetic - every move she made was motivated by the drama. They are an ardent new music advocate, having co-commissioned a song cycle for soprano and large ensemble by composer Eric Malmquist, called Let Me Sing - three poems of American activist women.

When she’s not singing, Ms. Strahl is an impassioned arts advocate and endeavors to develop and cultivate community around musical experiences. Their work with arts communities in both Chicago and San Francisco speaks toward the reciprocal joy that is possible in a community centered around creativity. Her Chicago Back Porch Concert Series brought together some of Chicago’s finest musicians and neighbors during the summer of 2020, with a simple goal - making music apart, together.
