Born: Kranenburg, near Kleve, Germany

The German soprano, Gabriele Natrop-Kepser, received her first singing instruction with Maria Hardenberg in Kleve. She began her study at the Musikhochschule Köln first with Professor E. Ostendorf and continued her training with Professor N. Usselmann. In July 1994 she got her "artistic maturity examination" ("künstlerische Reifeprüfung") there. She participated in several master-classes with famous professors both abroad and in Germany and was a Prize-winner in different competitions.

Gabriele Natrop-Kepser's repertoire covers the entire spectrum from musical to opera and to art song. She participated as soloist in numerous premieres of contemporary music.
