Liz Pearse

Soprano

Finding joy in variety, Liz Pearse is a musician of many pursuits. After a childhood spent playing every instrument she could lay her hands upon, Liz began exploring the endless possibilities of the voice. Hers is an instrument of unusual range, color, and versatility.  She has performed a range of repertoire, from medieval to modern, on stages around the world, including Italy (soundSCAPE Festival), Switzerland (Lucerne Festival), and Poland (KODY Festival).

Liz has a special affinity for music post-1900. As a soloist, her recent projects include multiple performances of Pierrot Lunaire, touring Olivier Messiaen’s Harawi, electroacoustic programming including Philomel, and ongoing commissions dedicated to the creation of works for self-accompanying soprano. She researched contemporary vocal pedagogy as part of a DMA in Contemporary Music at Bowling Green State University (Ohio).
