Piia Komsi (Soprano)

Formerly accomplished cellist turned coloratura soprano, Piia Komsi is known for her exceptionally high and flexible voice, virtuoso technique and exceptional ear. She tackles demanding modern repertoire with incredible ease and many composers today dedicate their music to her. She made her breakthrough as the Maid in Thomas Ades’ opera Powder her face at Helsinki Musica Nova festival in 1999. Her career has since blossomed and today she is a coveted international performer of baroque, classical and contemporary repertoire. Her operatic roles have successfully included Pamina and The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute by Mozart, Brьnnhilde in Wagner’s Ring cycle, Medea in Medeamaterial by Pascal Dusapin, The Cat in Alice in Wonderland by Chin, The Maid in Powder her face by Ades and the cello-playing Daughter Kraut in Heinz-Juhani Hofmann’s Ahti Karjalainen. Piia has been engaged by opera houses including Theatre et Musique Paris, Finnish National Opera, Bayerische Staatsoper Munchen, San Carlo Teatro Napoli, Teatro Olimpico Rome, and smaller groups in Finland. As a soloist she has performed with numerous orchestras like Los Angeles Philharmonic, BBC Symphony London and Wales (Cardif), London Sinfonietta, L’Ensemble Intercontemporain, Ensemble Moderne Frankfurt, Stockholm Royal Phil., Oslo Phil., Orquestra Sinfуnica do Porto Casa da Musica, Remixensemble do Casa da Musica, Gothenburg Symphony, Gulbenkian Orchestra, Koln Musik Fabrik, Elision, and the Finnish orchestras including early and new music orchestras. She has worked with many today’s top conductors like Esa-Pekka Salonen, Peter Eotvos, Sakari Oramo, Kent Nagano, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Francois-Xavier Roth and Peter Rundel. Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Wing on Wing was composed to Piia and her twin sister Anu, and after the world premiere 2004 it has become a part of many concert seasons all over the world. Her new challenge is to sing and play cello simultaneously, and she has already premiered two pieces by Hofmann and Trbojevic, for this unique coloraturasopranocellist combination.
