Elisa Sutherland

Mezzo-soprano Elisa Sutherland gives detailed, stylistic performances of early and new music with “soul-infused expressiveness and unselfconscious joie de vivre” (New York Music Daily). Ellie is a core member of Ekmeles, a sextet dedicated to exploring microtonal tuning and extended vocal techniques, as well as Alkemie, a group made up of medieval specialists that celebrates the vibrant and timeless sounds of the past and present. She sings with the Choir of Trinity Wall Street, and frequently appears with Tenet Vocal Artists, with which she has performed everything from Dowland lute songs to semi-staged pastiches of her own devising. Ellie's 2025-26 Season includes an astonishing range of high-level music-making in all genres with collaborators across the country including ACRONYM, Quince, The Crossing, Lorelei, Ampersand, Variant 6, Seraphic Fire, and Blue Heron.
