Greenleaf, Jolle

Jolle Greenleaf

Soprano Jolle Greenleaf is one of today’s foremost figures in early music. Hailed by The New York Times as a “golden soprano” and “a major force in the New York early music-scene,” Greenleaf was named artistic director of TENET in 2009. She sings and directs the ensemble in repertoire spanning the Middle Ages to the present day. Her flair for imaginative programming has been lauded as “adventurous and expressive,” and “smart, varied and not entirely early” (The New York Times).  She is a celebrated interpreter of the music of Bach, Buxtehude, Handel, Purcell, and, most notably, Claudio Monteverdi. Ms. Greenleaf has performed as a soloist in venues throughout the US, Scandinavia, Europe, and Central America for presenters including Cambridge and Vancouver Early Music Festivals, Denmark’s Vendsyssel Festival, Costa Rica International Music Festival, Puerto Rico’s Festival Casals, Utrecht Festival, at Panama’s National Theater, and in Havana, Cuba.
