"Lorenzen visar vilken formidabel solist hon är. ... briljerade med osedvanlig teknisk kontroll och känsla för det poetiskt intima.
Magnus Haglund, Gothenbrug newspaper Göteborgsposten
"Lorenzen occasionally does things outside the traditional, but they are always justified, natural and appropriate..."
Jussi Mattila, Helsinki newspaper Savon Sanomat
"... captivating stage presence and outstanding musicality..."
Jury of the Soloist Prize, The Royal Swedish Academy of Music
Soprano Kathrin Lorenzen was born in Flensburg in 1994 and grew up on a farm owned by her family in fifth generation.
She began church music studies at HMT Leipzig and sang in a wide variety of choirs and ensembles, including the German National Youth Choir, the Kammerchor Stuttgart and the World Youth Choir. During her studies, the desire to make singing her main instrument and career grew steadily. After further organ and vocal studies at HfM Saar (with Prof. Ruth Ziesak), she moved to Stockholm in 2021, after winning auditions for permanent employment and member of the Swedish Radio Choir. At the same time, she continued her master studies in singing at KMH Stockholm (with Prof. Bo Rosenkull).
In recent years, Kathrin established herself as a sought-after soloist and concert singer in Germany and Scandinavia. She has become particularly fond of art singing in all its forms and enjoys developing new concert concepts. She also has a strong passion for chamber music and a regular lied duo with the pianist Oskar Ekberg.
Kathrin is the recipient of several awards and scholarships (Nikolaus Reiser-Stiftung, Richard-Wagner-Verband, KMA-stipendiat etc. In 2023 she won 1st prize and the audience prize at the 12th International Telemann Competition in Magdeburg. Kathrin is the winner of Solistpriset 2024 ("The Soloist Prize"), the biggest prize awarded by the Swedish Royal Academy of Music for young musicians, being the first singer in 16 years to achieve that.
In june 2024 she received 2nd prize and the honorary audience award at the Mirjam Helin International Voice Competition.
