German soprano Katharina Konradi is the first soprano from Kyrgyzstan to have built an international career as a Lied, concert and opera singer. Her "crystal-clear" voice and "dazzling vocal technique" (Bachtrack) command a "fascinating palette of tonal nuances" (Das Opernglas), which she brings to roles such as Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Gilda (Rigoletto) and Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), as well as to the concert platform and the Lied recital stage. She divides her time between opera, song recitals and concert work. Recent engagements include appearances at the Bayerische Staatsoper, the Wiener Staatsoper and the Opernhaus Zürich, recitals at Wigmore Hall and the Konzerthaus Wien, and concerts with the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Münchner Philharmoniker. A celebrated artist, she can be heard on more than a dozen recordings.

Ammiel is a prize-winner at numerous competitions, including the Wigmore Hall Competition in London or the International Schubert Competition in Stuttgart. One of the last private students of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, he mentors regularly at Thomas Hampson’s Heidelberg Lied Academy.
