JULIA FERCHO – mezzosoprano/alto singer born in Jelenia Góra. In 2009 she graduated from the Academy of Music in Kraków with honours (solo singing class of dr Ewa Wolak). Still being a student, she perfected her singing skills taking part in numerous master courses run by Peter Tschaplik, Dariusz Grabowski, Ryszard Karczykowski, Elisabeth von Magnus, Teresa Żylis-Gara, or Helena Łazarska. She was the finalist and laureate of vocal competitions: the Pustina Competition in Czechia, and EVMA Munich (2010). Having completed her studies in Kraków, she embarked on cooperation with theatres in Germany where she performed as a soloist on numerous occasions (Theater Görlitz, Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theater, Theater Koblenz, Bad Hersfeld Festival, Oldenburgisches Staatstheater, Staatstheater Braunschweig). Her broad voice range and dark colour of her voice in the lower register make her a perfect performer of oratorio and sacral music which has become her specialty. Her repertoire includes most major alto arias from the Baroque to the contemporary music. She gives regular solo performances in the largest German cathedrals, e.g.: Frauenkirche Dresden, Braunschweiger Dom, Dom zu Verden, Naumburger Dom, or St. Clement’s Basilica in Hanover. In addition, the artist specialises in vocal compositions written to the accompaniment of the organ. In 2023 she gave concerts in Germany, Norway, Spain, and Belgium. Each of her performances was very warmly received by the critics and audiences alike. In addition, the signer’s repertoire includes a broad range of songs. Her favourites are French language songs and duets by Gabriel Fauré and Camille Saint-Saëns, which she has brilliantly performed at numerous chamber and salon concerts.
