Chloe Boelter comes from a diverse background of jazz and orchestral genres, giving her a well-rounded understanding of ornamentation and musicality. Through the pandemic this spring (2021), she has not slowed her progress: she received funding from the Indy Arts Council, started her private studio virtually, and became a Fellow with Classical Music Indy to produce an art song album all on the works of under-represented female composers. Before the global shut-down,
Chloe Boelter's most recent role was debuting Donna Anna in W.A. Mozart's Don Giovanni in the Estates Theater in Prague with the Prague Summer Nights: Young Artists Music Festival (2019). Her solo debut at the Hilbert Circle Theater in Indianapolis was as the Guest Artist performing Eve and Gabriel in The Creation by Haydn, conducted by Dr. Eric Stark in October 2018 with the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir (ISC) and Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. She was thrilled to be invited back with the ISC and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra in October 2019 for J.S. Bach's Mass in B Minor (BWV 232) as a Guest Soloist again.
From Chloe Boelter's instrumental background as a cellist for ten years, she excels in both Baroque and Classical genres, as well as complex, modern compositions, and actively works with living composers as a virtuosic and adaptive performer. Her most recent collaborations include presenting the debut of the Battle-Pieces in its entirety on Michael Scherperel’s Recital in January of 2019, and tackling Scherperel’s Stimmungen einer Herbstlichkeit cycle on his German Lieder Recital in February 2020. |
