About

Sophie Michelle Clarke is a soprano based in the Washington D.C. Metro area who specializes in new and chamber works. Recently Sophie sang in a workshop performance of a new opera by Paola Prestini, “Sensorium Ex,” at The Reach in the Kennedy Center.

Sophie is a sought after early music singer as well and has sung for several local churches as cantor and section leader.
