Laura Strickling

Soprano Laura Strickling is known for her advocacy of new music. In 2023, she released the album 40@40, featuring songs newly commissioned on the occasion of her 40th birthday. Strickling was born in Chicago. She earned a bachelor's degree in sacred music at the city's Moody Bible Institute and went on to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, earning a master's degree in voice. A principal teacher has been Elizabeth Daniels. An enthusiastic traveler, Strickling studied classical Arabic for a time at the Arabic Language Institute in Fez, Morocco. She also lived in Kabul, Afghanistan, where her husband was the founding chair of the law department at the former American University of Afghanistan. She now lives in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She earned honors in the Schubert Club Competition, Harold Haugh Light Opera Competition, and the Vocal Arts Society Art Song Discovery Competition, among many other events. Strickling made her recording debut in 2015 with an appearance on the New Voices album, released by the Brooklyn Art Song Society. Her first solo recording came in 2018 with The Garden: Songs and Vocal Chamber Music of Tom Cipullo on the Albany Records label. Strickling developed a substantial repertory of traditional soprano roles during a stint as a member of the Berkshire Opera Company Resident Artist Program, including Cleopatra in Handel's Giulio Cesare, Mimi in Puccini's La bohème, and Elvira in Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri. She appeared as Pamina in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte in a touring Metropolitan Opera Guild production, but she has mostly been recognized as a champion of contemporary music, performing in vocal recitals, opera, and events at educational institutions. Strickling has collaborated with various contemporary American composers, including Cipullo, Daniel Felsenfeld, and Juliana Hall, among many others. She has appeared in concert at such venues as Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York, and Kennedy Center and Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and has given lectures and recitals at the University of Georgia, the College of William & Mary, and the University of Notre Dame, among other schools. Strickling released another album devoted to Cipullo's music, The Parting (a work memorializing Holocaust victims) on the Naxos label in 2020, and that year, she moved to the Yarlung label for Confessions, an art song recital featuring her frequent collaborator Joy Schreier on piano. Strickling's 40@40 followed on the Bright Shiny Things label in 2023.
