Emily Helferty (Mezzo-soprano)

Born: August 23, ____ - Ottawa Valley, Canada

The Canadian mezzo-soprano, Emily Helferty, is the youngest of eleven children and grew up singing and performing with her family in the Ottawa Valley of Canada. She was introduced to and fell in love with classical music at age ten, when she began taking voice lessons. She obtained her Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario (2016-2020), where she was awarded the Queen’s Medal in Music. From there, she came to the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, where she is pursuing a master’s degree in Early Music Voice (since 2020; expected graduation: 2023) as a returning alto in the Voxtet. She regularly sings in Catholic liturgies and has a particular interest in solo sacred music repertoire.
