Karen Sutherland

Voice Teacher
Karen Sutherland enjoys one of the most diverse
careers in the North Country. She is well known both as a folk
singer, with her husband, Pete Sutherland, and as a singer of
the classics. Her long time interests in both these areas has
brought her throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe
in concert and study tours. She began her studies in singing
at Indiana University, and completed them at the University of
Vermont, where she also holds a degree in early childhood development.
In addition to her very active performing career in the folk
world, she has researched, collected, transcribed, and performed
folk songs native to several rural communities in North America.
She has performed with many groups in the U.S. and abroad, including
the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Champlain Valley Oratorio
Society and the Pitten International Music Festival
in Austria. Miss Sutherland has been called a singer of "extraordinary
range and power." Her vast experience in a broad range of
musical styles makes her an artist sympathetic to the particular
needs of special services.
