“Angelic” has often been used to describe the silvery, pure, sweet tone of Esther Heideman’s voice. In 2000, she won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and the Lucia Albanese competition. In 2001, she made her Metropolitan Opera debut singing Pamina in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Esther has also performed with major orchestras throughout the world and has been featured on multiple recordings including Mahler’s Symphony # 4 with the St. Louis Symphony, Richard Evan’s Ireland’s Poet Patriots, and Stephen Paulus’ The Three Hermits. She will be returning to Carnegie Hall to perform Handel’s Messiah this coming December with the Masterwork Chorus and Orchestra. When not performing, Ms. Heideman enjoys teaching lessons and master classes and sharing her knowledge and experience with young performers. She is also a certified practitioner in Tibetan Singing Bowl Healings, and uses her musical knowledge to heal others using Sound Vibration.
