KATE LUCANDER, SOPRANO

Kate Lucander is a soprano based in Southwest Florida. Specializing in baroque and contemporary works, Kate’s passion is highlighting lesser-known composers in performance. As a co-founder of the vocal quartet Serafina, she furthers this mission by performing works of early women composers. Recently, they appeared as season openers of the SoHIP Boston series. Since moving to Florida, she has worked with the Nautilus Chamber Ensemble to enhance the visibility of 21st-century composers. She has recently appeared as a soloist and ensemble member with Seraphic Fire, Audivi, and Choral Artists of Michigan. Recent solo engagements include Bach’s St. John Passion, Carissimi’s Jephte, and Handel’s Messiah. Kate has sung across Europe with choirs, ranging from a residency at Westminster Abbey to the International Music Festival in Granada, Spain. When not singing, Kate works as a software consultant and can otherwise be found cooking, hiking, or spending time with her fiancé and rescue dog.
