Colombian-American soprano Stephanie Lamprea is an architect of new sounds and expressions as a performer, composer, and multidisciplinary artist, specializing in contemporary classical repertoire. Trained as an operatic coloratura, she uses her voice as a mechanism of avant-garde performance art, creating “maniacal shifts of vocal production and character… like an icepick through the skull” (Jason Eckardt). She has performed as a soloist at Roulette Intermedium, Constellation Chicago, Sound Scotland, Kings Place, Southbank Centre, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the Hidden Door Festival, and the Casa da Música. She has collaborated with the London Sinfonietta, International Contemporary Ensemble, the City of London Sinfonia, Sō Percussion, and Post Coal Prom Queen. https://www.

He has premiered new works by Oliver Searle, Gareth Williams, Iain Matheson, Tom David Wilson and Eddie McGuire and has been a guest performer with Red Note Ensemble and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
