Brooke Evers, soprano

Brooke Evers is a soprano whose career centers on art song, oratorio, and concert repertoire, with particular distinction in German Lieder. A Fulbright Scholar to Austria, she pursued advanced studies of Lieder while performing in Vienna, Berlin, and Milan before returning to the Washington, D.C. region, where she has appeared as a soloist at the Kennedy Center, the Embassy of Austria, the National Cathedral, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Strathmore, the Folger Shakespeare Theater, and the Schlesinger Center.

An active recitalist, Brooke has performed extensively throughout the Mid-Atlantic and beyond, earning particular recognition for her interpretations of German art song. She was awarded the David Gundlach Lied Prize from the Lotte Lehmann Foundation Art Song Competition and has participated in the Franz Schubert Institut and the Ravinia Festival. Her artistic development has been shaped through masterclasses with Elly Ameling, Renée Fleming, Wolfgang Holzmair, Helmut Deutsch, and James Conlon, among others.

As a concert soloist, Brooke has appeared with leading ensembles including the Washington Bach Consort, Opera Lafayette, the New Dominion Chorale, the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, the Folger Consort, and Cathedra. Her repertoire includes major works such as Bach’s St. John Passion and Mass in B Minor, Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Grand Mass in C Minor and Requiem, the Brahms and Fauré Requiems, Haydn’s Creation, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Under special invitation, she toured Germany as a member of Helmut Rilling’s Festival Ensemble Stuttgart.

Equally at home across styles, Brooke’s work spans early music, opera, and cabaret. As an Opera Lafayette Young Artist, she appeared in productions including Armide, Acis and Galatea, and Le Roi et le Fermier, and she has created and performed original cabaret programs throughout Washington and Baltimore. She is a winner of the Vocal Arts Discovery Competition and, in 2020, received an Independent Artist Award from the state of Maryland.

Brooke holds a Master of Music degree from the University of Maryland, where she performed leading roles with the Maryland Opera Studio, and Bachelor’s degrees in Voice and German from Indiana University. Her debut art song album, The Wild Song, recorded with pianist Marina Chamasyan, is released in February 2026, with singles released throughout January.
