Henriette Schellenberg

Winnipeg soprano Henriette Schellenberg has been heralded in Canada as "among the very finest oratorio singers." Since completing her studies at the Nordwestdeutsche Musikakademie in Detmold, West Germany, she has firmly established her career as a distinguished concert and oratorio performer. Ms. Schellenberg has worked with such respected conductors as Robert Shaw, Charles Dutoit and Helmuth Rilling, and her recent engagements include performances with the Toronto Symphony, Boston Symphony, Montreal Symphony, National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa, Ontario, Vancouver Symphony and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.

She is acclaimed for her versatility in repertoire ranging from the Baroque to contemporary works such as the Webber Requiem. She has received critical acclaim for performances of Beethoven's Christ on the Mount of Olives, Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, J. S. Bach's solo cantatas BWV 51 (Jauchzet Gott in allen landen) and 202 (Wedding Cantata), and Handel's Messiah.

Her radiant soprano voice is in great demand, and current engagements take her throughout North America and Europe. She is a welcome performer at major music festivals such as Tanglewood, the Oregon Bach Festival, the Bethlehem Bach Festival, the Elora Three Centuries Festival, the Heidelberg Festival and the 1989 International Choral Festival.
