Hailed as “ravishing” (New York Times) for her performance at the Boston Early Music Festival and blessed with “crystalline purity” (Seattle Times) Ms. Tsatsanis divides her time between early opera and concert performance.

Past opera roles include Valletto in L'incoronazione di Poppea, Venus in Venus and Adonis, Fanny in The Cooper, and Arthebuze in Actéon. Her concert performance ranges from oratorio to renaissance song to world premier performances such as a stunning arrangement for soprano, cello and orchestra of the Prelude’s of Bach's Cello Suites . She has appeared as soloist with groups such as Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Seattle Choral Company,  Gallery Concerts, Concerto Baroque, Auburn Symphony, Seattle Trumpet Consort and the Early Music Guild and performs regularly with Northwest ensembles such as Tudor Choir, Cappella Romana, and the Seattle Opera Chorus. She has made recent appearances at the Indianapolis Early Music Festival, Boston Early Music Festival and Bloomington Early Music Festival.

Ms. Tsatsanis began her career as a full-time member/soloist of Canada’s leading professional choir, the Elmer Iseler Singers, working with such greats as Krzysztof Penderecki, Sir David Wilcox, Bernard Labadie and Helmuth Rilling. During this time she also enjoyed an active career as a freelance soloist and movie and television actor. She can be heard on various recordings by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and on the new Norton Anthology recording. A solo recording with lutenist John Lenti is slated to be released in 2008.

Ms. Tsatsanis received her undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto and continued her education with a Master’s degree at Indiana in the studio of Alan Bennett, working with Early Music Institute faculty such as Nigel North, Elisabeth Wright, Paul Elliott and Wendy Gillespie.
