Praised for her “beautiful vocalism” (San Francisco Gate) and engaging presence, soprano Grace Srinivasan has established herself in the Baltimore-Washington area as a performer of a wide spectrum of repertoire ranging from the Renaissance chant to contemporary compositions. Grace’s recent operatic roles include Despina (Cosi Fan Tutte), High Priestess (Marais’ Semele), Belinda (Dido and Aeneas), and Laurie Moss (The Tender Land), as well as concert solos in Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Handel’s Messiah, Monteverdi’s Vespers, and Mozart’s Vesperae Solennes.

A graduate of Peabody Conservatory and a Washington, D.C. area native, Grace works professionally as a soprano and assistant music director at St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church, cantor at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, choir director at Temple Sinai, and as a staff soprano at Washington National Cathedral. Grace has sung with ensembles throughout the country, including Sound Salon, Washington Bach Consort, Cathedra, Capitol Early Music, Capriccio Baroque and Chantry, and has performed on concert stages across North America from Seattle to the Dominican Republic.

Grace also serves as music director at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company and is a co-founder and director of the early music ensemble Musica Spira, which highlights music by early modern women. Musica Spira has performed at prestigious festivals across the country, including Indianapolis Early Music Festival and the Society for Historically Informed Performance, and on concert series at such venues as the Folger Shakespeare Library, Peabody Library, and Strathmore Mansion.

An occasional screen actor, in September 2014 Grace appeared in the PBS docudrama Enemy of the Reich as Noor Inayat Khan.
