American coloratura soprano Kathryn Mueller is noted for her “appealing stage presence of personal warmth and musicianship” and performs a wide range of repertoire with ensembles including ROCO (Knoxville: Summer of 1915), Cincinnati Symphony (Mozart Mass in C minor), Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra (Reena Esmail’s The History of Red), Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (Beethoven Symphony No. 9), and Spartanburg Philharmonic (Gliere’s Concerto for Coloratura Soprano).

An advocate for new music, Kathryn co-commissioned Reena Esmail’s The History of Red with Santa Fe Pro Musica, River Oaks Chamber Orchestra, the Orlando Philharmonic, and The Knights. It premiered in 2021 and was hailed for its “evocative sonorities, sensitivity to the changing moods of the poem, and skillfully crafted, natural-sounding text rhythms.” ^[KM1] Kathryn also gave the world premiere of Ananda Sukarlan’s song cycle Love and Variations.

Kathryn received a GRAMMY nomination for her solo work on True Concord’s album Far in the Heavens, recorded two GRAMMY-nominated albums with Seraphic Fire and is featured as a soloist on recordings by New Trinity Baroque, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Tucson Chamber Artists, and Seraphic Fire. Her solo CD Love & Loss: Songs of Purcell, Bach and Handel, released in 2020, was praised by Early Music America for her “sheer beauty,” “deliberate restraint,” and “concern for the text.”

She is based in Raleigh, NC where she lives with her conductor husband and two lively young children. Kathryn is a member of Beyond Artists and supports the Poor People’s Campaign with
