Isa Katharina Gericke is known for her versatility as a performer with a repertoire of opera, chamber music and concert works ranging from baroque to contemporary. Her love of Lieder and art songs has resulted in well-received concert performances centred on the life and work of singers Eva Sars Nansen, Kirsten Flagstad and Jenny Lind.

Isa reveals further facets of her versatility in the cabaret “Frauen sind keine Engel” featuring music from Berlin in the 1930s and 40s. Isa is a frequent guest at chamber music festivals in Norway and abroad, and her CD recordings for Simax Classics and LAWO Classics all have a connection to the Nordic art song repertoire.

His regular collaborators include mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, cellist Mats Lidström and violinist Nils-Erik Sparf, with whom he has made a number of recordings.
