Irish soprano Elizabeth Hilliard is a leading exponent of contemporary vocal music, described in Opera Today as a ‘veritable tour de force of vocal sound, experimentation and expression’. She has worked in close collaboration with composers including Gráinne Mulvey, Jennifer Walshe, Christopher Fox and David Bremner and champions Irish art, music and composers, achieving recognition in the US and UK as well as her native country.
Elizabeth’s career is supported by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and South Dublin County Council. Highlights include: musical director of Inappropriate Moments, a 2-day festival of the unaccompanied vocal-ensemble music by Jennifer Walshe (Béal, 2016); musical director of Stockhausen’s Stimmung, for which she created a Dublin version (Tonnta, 2019); performer in Gráinne Mulvey’s Great Women (for soprano and electronics), filmed premiere directed by Helene Montague and John Comiskey (Dublin International Chamber Music Festival, 2021), live premiere (New Music Dublin, 2023).
