Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning soprano, songwriter, and actress Hila Plitmann is known for opera, concert, film, and theatre performances filled with emotionally charged fearlessness, unique expressivity, and mesmerising drama. She rose to prominence after premiering a work by Del Tredici with the New York Philharmonic just one year after graduating from Juilliard – on only two weeks’ notice – and has since become a frequent soloist on major stages across the world.

Widely recognised as one of today’s foremost interpreters of contemporary music, she regularly performs new works by a diverse array of composers, as well as traditional repertoire, and boundary-pushing projects in non-classical genres. With jazz guitarist Shea Welsh and tabla virtuoso Aditya Kalyanpur, she co-founded global music project Renaissance Heart. Her tour-de-force role in Eric Whitacre’s groundbreaking electro-musical Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings at Boston Court Pasadena, involving singing, acting, dancing, and martial arts, won her a nomination as Best Actress in a Musical from the Los Angeles Ovation Awards and Ticketholder Awards. She leads innovative residencies and workshops at campuses across the United States, bringing diverse pedagogical methods combining technical focus, tools and approaches for connecting, and a sense of inner confidence, mindfulness, centering, and presence.
