A graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, mezzo-soprano Pauline Claes performs regularly in opera, in Belgium and abroad. Although early music remains one of her favourite repertoires, she is also interested in contemporary music and theatre. Keen to broaden her horizons, she also likes to tackle other vocal styles, such as musical comedy, cabaret, gospel and soul. She has just recorded, with the Sturm und Klang ensemble, La Jeune Fille à la fenêtre, a lyrical work by Eugène Samuel-Holeman, as well as melodies by this same composer.
