Jantina Noorman

**Jantina Noorman** is a Dutch mezzo-soprano and early music specialist celebrated for her warm, expressive vocals and dedication to historically informed performance. Based in the Netherlands, she’s a versatile artist who moves effortlessly between Baroque opera (like her soul-stirring take on Purcell’s *Dido and Aeneas*) and folk traditions, as seen in her heartfelt interpretations of *Dutch Folk Songs*. A founding member of ensembles like The Lockenhaus Collective and The Second Approach, she blends scholarly rigor with emotional depth, often collaborating with lute players and instrumentalists to revive Renaissance and medieval repertoires. When she’s not performing, Jantina shares her expertise through teaching at institutions like the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, bridging the gap between academia and live music-making. Her work feels like a joyful conversation between past and present—no powdered wigs required!
