Kate Soper is a composer, performer, and writer. She has been described by The Boston Globe as
"a composer of trenchant, sometimes discomfiting, power” and by The New Yorker as "one of the great originals of her generation." Praised by The New York Times for her "lithe voice and riveting presence," she performs frequently as a new music soprano. Soper is a co-director and vocalist for Wet Ink, a New York-based new music ensemble dedicated to seeking out adventurous music across aesthetic boundaries. Recent and upcoming projects include the release of her operas The Hunt and The Romance of the Rose on New Focus Recordings, and Orpheus Orchestra Opus Onus, a commission for soprano and orchestra which she will perform with Gustavo Dudamel and the New York Philharmonic in May 2025.
