Sophie Junker

**Sophie Junker** is a Luxembourgish soprano who's become a standout voice in the Baroque and early music scene. Known for her crystalline tone and expressive delivery, she’s built a career breathing life into works by Handel, Vivaldi, and their contemporaries. Trained at conservatories in Brussels and The Hague, Junker shines in both fiery operatic roles (like her Handel heroines in *Serse* and *Arminio*) and delicate sacred pieces (check out her Couperin *Leçons de Ténèbres*). She’s a favorite collaborator with period ensembles like La Nuova Musica and Les Ambassadeurs, bringing wit and emotional depth to everything from Cavalli’s *L'Egisto* to Grétry’s comic operas. When she’s not lighting up concert halls, you might catch her championing lesser-known Baroque gems – her *La Francesina* album revealing why Handel called his star singer “the nightingale.” A true musical chameleon, Junker switches effortlessly between regal rage in Lotti’s *Giove in Argo* and playful charm in Purcell’s *King Arthur*.
