Anna / Mezzosopraan – Alto

Anna Nuytten is a Belgian mezzo-soprano. She graduated with great distinction from the Royal Conservatory of Ghent with Hendrickje Van Kerckhove. Anna has already had the opportunity to work with extraordinary vocal coaches and artists, such as Delphine Galou, the King’s Singers, Emma Kirkby, Simone Kermes and Belgian soprano Hilde Coppé.

She is passionate about vocal ensemble singing and chamber music. Anna performs in numerous professional ensembles at home and abroad, as soloist and ensemble singer, including the Flemish Radio Choir, Currende, Saevus, Ex Tempore, Ratas de Viejo Mundo, ClubMediéval, Swara Vocal Ensemble, B’Rock orchestra and the Ghent Singers.

Her activity in these groups puts her in close contact with both early and contemporary music. She is one of the members of the five-member new vocal ensemble ‘Mavis’, alongside soprano Anna Pardo, tenor Hans Helsen, baritone Reinhard Andries and bass Andrés Soler. Anna directs her own mixed choir Asem’ in Wervik, which she founded in 2018. She also obtained her pedagogical master’s degree at KASK and conducts and teaches singing at several academies in Flanders.

Finally, Anna founded the duo Coordonné with lutenist Thomas Langlois. Their particular passion for the music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, but also for the contemporary repertoire, was
a strong element that brought them together. Thomas and Anna travelled to England to explore the music of John Dowland and contemporaries under the direction of Dame Emma Kirkby and lutenist
Jacob Heringman, among others. This resulted in their debut CD ‘Terrain Vague’, released by the Etcetera label in 2021 and a concert series in 2022/2023. The CD was enthusiastically received by audiences and critics, and is regularly played on KLARA. Part of their programme was broadcast on Canvas as part of the “Toots Sessions” in December 2022. They are working on an exciting new program that will be recorded in fall 2024.
