Kirsten Sollek-Avella (Mezzo-soprano)

Born: USA

The American mezzo-soprano, Kirsten Sollek-Avella, comes from the Pacific Northwest and studied at Indiana University and the Eastman School of Music.

In recent years Kirsten Sollek-Avella has been particularly active in the area of historical performance and is much in demand with early music enthusiasts in the United States and abroad. Kirsten Sollek-Avella is also increasingly sought after for her interpretation of music from the 20th century.
