Kristin Mulders, Norwegian mezzo-soprano based in Copenhagen, started taking voice lessons at the age of 19 when studying music at Wartburg College, Iowa. She holds a mastersdegree in vocal performance from the Grieg Academy of Music in Bergen, Norway. She has given numerous recitals both in Norway and abroad, and is regularly doing solo-parts with choirs and orchestras. Her versatile repertoire includes lieder, opera and baroque music, as well as music from the renaissance and the modern classical cabaret genre, and she has done solo-parts in works like Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, Mass in B-minor and St.Johns Passion, Mozart and Duruflé Requiems, Verdis Requiem, Mendelssohns Elijah, Beethovens Symphony no.9, Händels Messiah, Schnittke Requiem, Charpentiers Te Deum and Messe de Minuit and Buxtehudes Membra Jesu Nostri.
