Soprano Addy Sterrett is known for her stylistic versatility and expressivity, performing a wide range of repertoire as both a soloist and ensemble musician. Equally at home in early music, contemporary, and large-scale symphonic repertoire, she is a sought-after collaborator whose “timbre imparts a touch of magic” (Gramophone UK). Recent performance highlights include Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with the Grand Rapids Symphony, singing background vocals on Björk’s Cornucopia tour, and LA Master Chorale’s acclaimed touring production of Schütz’s Musikalische Exequien (directed by Peter Sellars) at the Salzburg Festival and Philharmonie de Paris.

In addition to her work as a chorister and soloist with the Master Chorale, Addy performs regularly with Seraphic Fire, Santa Fe Desert Chorale, True Concord, and Evergreen Ensemble. Deeply engaged with historically informed performance practice, she makes frequent appearances with Tesserae Baroque, Three Notch’d Road, and the Baroque Festival Corona Del Mar.

She co-founded Peasant Fylthe, a collective exploring lesser-known and less-than-sacred repertoire, and helped establish Baroque Collegium Los Angeles, a group seeking to bring more performances of sacred vocal works of the baroque era to LA’s vibrant music scene.

She was named Audience Favorite at the 2025 American National Oratorio Competition, received the Linn Maxwell Keller Distinguished Bach Musician Award in 2022, and was a Virginia Best Adams Fellow at the Carmel Bach Festival in 2024. Her voice can also be heard on several film soundtracks including Twisters, Superman (2025), and How to Train Your Dragon (2025).

Originally from northern Michigan, Addy is an alumna of Interlochen Arts Academy and received her master’s degree at Yale’s Institute of Sacred Music. Outside of singing, she enjoys composing folk melodies, practicing yoga, and spending time outdoors.
