Soprano Yulia Van Doren has thoughtfully cultivated a unique career as one of the foremost concert singers of her generation. Particularly recognized for her work in Baroque repertoire, she has been presented as a guest artist by a majority of the premiere North American orchestras and festivals and is featured on two Grammy- nominated opera recordings with the Boston Early Music Festival. She last appeared with Music of the Baroque in November 2024.
