Elizabeth de Trejo - ISV - European Music Institute Vienna

International School of the Voice

Technique Intensive

Elizabeth de Trejo

15 - 19 July

A Co-operation Project between EMIV and the International School of the Voice, New York

The overarching aim of ISV is to create artists of the highest caliber and to do so by providing a space for the entire arc of the artist’s path. A space where the younger voice artist is nurtured from beginning to professional career, and beyond, in order to continue the legacy of the Italian Lyric style of singing in opera, art song, and concert works.

ISV is centered around our Principal Artist program. The ISV Principal Artists are chosen not just for their vocal talent, but for their character and unique expressive artistry in their work. We are passionate about bringing each artist through the discipline of the technique of the mind, body, and voice, so that they may intelligently access their ‘artist mind,’ which is where the true gift of singing is located.

The ISV Principal Artists work in person with the directors of ISV, Elizabeth De Trejo and Mauricio Trejo, during the fall and winter/spring seasons in New York City. The illustrious ISV faculty is currently, in-person, and online, as our colleagues are not only in NYC, but wherever great music is being made.

At present, ISV is growing rapidly as our work is rapidly creating results for those artists looking to understand their instruments, what technique is, and how to convert it into artful singing. It has moved us to acknowledge that a project of this scope is demanding a home. Therefore, one of our priorities is to have a solid and steady space in which to house the majority of the work, to be able to completely support the singing artists’ studies and efforts, and to consummate the profound joy in the virtuosity of the human voice.

Executive Director and Founder of the International School of the Voice, Soprano, former President of the Executive Board of Directors of Joy In Singing, the Art Song Institute, and a Voice Faculty member of The Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Elizabeth De Trejo is trailblazing a new path in the sphere of classical voice, and through the International School of the Voice, is revolutionizing the way the art form is taught.

Elizabeth is a consummate soprano and recitalist, having sung extensively in Europe, Asia and the Americas. She has worked with leading conductors and has appeared as a guest soloist with many orchestras in halls such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, with distinguished ensembles like the Marinsky Orchestra, the Orchestra Verdi, the Orchestra Now, the Oratorio Society of NY, the National Chorale, and more; some of these works include the Verdi Requiem, Carmina Burana, the U.S. premiere of Raff’s Te Deum, the De Profundis of Lili Boulanger, Mahler’s Symphonies, No. 4 and 8, Beethoven 9th Symphony and Mass in C, Bach, Brahms, Fauré and Mozart Requiems, and numerous Rutter works conducted by the composer himself.

Ms. De Trejo made her Metropolitan Opera debut in Berg’s Lulu; and her career has given her the opportunity to perform the roles of Norma, Violetta, Lucia di Lammermoor, Donna Anna, Gilda, Marguerite, Fiordiligi, Die Königin die Nacht, Adina, Poppea, Juliette, Musetta, Giulietta, and Cleopatra, and the role of Rosina in Anton Coppola’s epic opera, Sacco and Vanzetti; for which an aria was composed for her.

Elizabeth attended Loyola University where she received a Bachelor of Music degree in Performance, and Yale University, earning her Master of Music. Post graduation, Elizabeth De Trejo joined the International Opera Studio of the Opernhaus Zürich. Elizabeth can be seen on the EMI Classics DVD of Der Rosenkavalier under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, and directed by Sven-Erich Bechtolf, live from Opernhaus Zürich.
