Beate Langenbruch

Incapable de départager musique et littérature dans sa vie, Beate a décidé de se consacrer passionnément aux deux. La maîtresse de conférences en littérature française (Moyen Âge) et soprano allemande parcourt le monde pour ses recherches comme pour chanter, avec son trio de musique de chambre, en soliste ou en choeur. Ses années d'expériences instrumentales (piano, flûte, guitare) n'ont que très modérément entravé son amour inconditionnel de la voix et du répertoire choral en particulier.
