Linnéa Sundfær Casserly

Linnéa Sundfær Casserly is a recorder player and vocalist dividing her time between Oslo and Helsinki. She effortlessly jumps between her two instruments and happily performs duets with herself where she sings and plays at the same time.

Linnéa is especially passionate about collaborations with living composers. She has world premiered a large number of works – many of which composed specifically for her. She has also worked deeply with Kaija Saariaho's vocal music, including a soprano solo in the opera Only the Sound Remains at the Maillon theatre in Strasbourg, and has been featured as soloist in Helsinki Chamber Choir's album Reconnaissance which won a Grammy for Best Choral Performance.

In addition to her love for new music, Linnéa is a keen performer of early music and has played and sung with ensembles such as Barokkanerne and the Finnish Baroque Orchestra.
