The Australian soprano and music teacher, Josephine Brereton, is a young soprano living, studying and performing in Sydney. She obtained her Bachelor odf Music degree in Music Education and Classical Voice from the Sydney Conservatorium (2019-2022).
Since 2019, Josephine Brereton has begun to establish herself as both a solo and ensemble artist in various companies based in Sydney. After a brief collaboration with Concordia Ensemble as a soloist, chorister and choral director, she auditioned for Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and has since performed in 9 programs with them, including their nationally televised performances of Gustav Mahler's Resurrection Symphony with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. She began singing with Cantabile Choir since 2021 as a soprano, and has since performed a number of events with the group. She has sung with many highly regarded choirs in Sydney, including the Sydney Conservatorium Choir, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Cantillation, and most recently, the Choir of St James' King Street.
In late 2022 Josephine Brereton joined Rockdale Opera Company for their Opera Gala and performance of Die Fledermaus in the role of Adele, performing the much loved Laughing Song. In early 2023, she made her debut as a choral soloist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in their performance of Eriks Esenvalds' Passion and Resurrection.
Josephine Brereton is excited to begin this new chapter as the Soprano Scholar at St James (2023-2024) and looks forward to fine tuning her choral skills. In July 2024 she became a full member of the Choir of St James' King Street.
