Soprano, performer, and composer Sofia Jernberg moves between contemporary composition, noise, free jazz, and experimental vocal art. Her voice ranges five octaves, from guttural growls to crystalline overtones, from microtonal glissandi to percussive sonic explosions. 

What can a voice be? Ritual, resistance, myth, and knowledge keeper? Visionary, memory, and healing? The Deutsche Oper’s series Cantadoras brings together outstanding women who radically pose this question, each in their own way, tradition and practice. Various vocal techniques meet improvisation and performance, spiritual practice meets political resistance, centuries-old traditions meet progressive sonic art.
