Agnes Zsigovics

Young Canadian soprano Agnes Zsigovics makes her Bach Festival debut at the 2010 Festival. Ms. Zsigovics, "whose crystal-clear singing and musical manner are everything that one could ask of a Bach soprano" (Ottawa Citizen, 2008) appears with leading orchestras and choirs across Canada and Europe. A master's graduate of the University of Toronto, Agnes made her debut with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in Bach's St. John Passion under the direction of Maestro Helmuth Rilling in 2007.

The Sony Classical/BMG CD: The Voice of Bach on which Agnes appears in duet with Daniel Taylor was nominated for a Juno award in 2009. She also appears on The Ottawa Bach Choir's most recent CD entitled Jesu meine Freude, which was given the following review: “Soprano Agnes Zsigovics owns a limpid, emotionally naked instrument; her exquisite Den Tod duet with Taylor in the first cantata just about reduced me to tears."(American Record Guide, July/August 2009)
