Rachel Fenlon is a soprano and pianist who is finding a unique voice on the classical music stages of the world. Drawing from a singer-songwriter approach, Rachel performs song recitals as both singer and pianist accompanying herself. Praised for her “unusually shaped recitals in keeping with her extraordinary talent” (Places des Arts/Festival de Lanaudière), Rachel performs internationally as a recitalist, as solo pianist and singer, and on the opera stage. Rachel was born in the UK, raised on the west coast of Canada, and is now based in Berlin.
The 2024/25 season sees Rachel make self-accompanied recital debuts at the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Bechstein Hall, the Virtuosi Festival in Brazil and the Algarve Music Series. She returns to her native Canada, touring various programmes at leading festivals and venues including Salle Bourgie, Vancouver Recital Society, Domaine Forget, Coast Recital Society, ArtSpring, SweetWater Music Festival, and Music Toronto. In opera, Rachel returns to work with Ensemble Nylandia/Isabella Shaw in La Doriclea. Rachel’s recording of Schubert’s Die Winterreise will be released on Orchid Classics in autumn 2024.

Youth Art Enrichment
Youth Art Enrichment is an annual four-day art program for Yukon youth hosted by the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture in Dawson City. Artistically-inclined youth ages 14 – 18 travel from across the Yukon to take part in intensive workshops led by professional artists. Students choose one of three mediums to study for the duration of the program, learning new skills, techniques, and ways to creatively make artwork for the world to see. The mediums change every year: we have offered printmaking, animation, painting, carving, stained glass, illustration, improv, and much more over the last two decades.
