Ariadne Lih

Based in Tio’tia:ke (currently known as Montreal) on the lands of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka people, Ariadne Lih is a queer feminist soprano who loves cats. She sings opera, oratorio, and chamber music from the earliest notations to the present day, and co-directs The Uncommon Music Festival, where she does her best to make feminist chamber music rooted in land and community. As a soloist, she appears regularly with ensembles such as Clavecin en Concert, Infusion Baroque, La Chamaille, and the Madison Bach Musicians. Currently, you can hear her online with Lucas Harris as part of the Cozzolani Reunited project and with a humpback whale as part of the Conversations with Whales project, piloted by the Uncommon Music Festival. Upcoming engagements include the Early Music America Emerging Artists Showcase and the new opera Julie, Monster with RVA Baroque. She has a B.A. in music from Yale University and a master’s degree in opera from the Schulich School of Music.
