Frauke Aulbert is a soprano, extreme vocalist, composer, performer, and curator. She is considered one of the most active and versatile performers in contemporary music. Her work ranges from researching and collecting vocal traditions and singing techniques worldwide (such as P’ansori, overtone singing, Dhrupad, beatboxing, Noh, etc.) to the virtuosic interpretation of musical and performative compositions, as well as to her own music-theatrical works developed in close contact with the audience. These have been (premiered) at festivals such as Warsaw Autumn, Klang! Copenhagen, Resonant Bodies NYC, Átlátszó Hang Budapest, and Ensems Valencia. In 2026, Trio Generator will premiere Aulbert’s full-length music theater performance to try the impossible artwork at AckerStadtPalast Berlin.
The foundation of Aulbert’s vocal virtuosity lies in her extraordinary range and the high flexibility of her voice, the spectrum of which she has continuously expanded since completing her classical vocal diploma. Her techniques extend far beyond traditional possibilities and transcend musical and vocal boundaries.
She was awarded first prize by the Stockhausen Foundation and has received artist residencies in Rome, Paris, Stuttgart and Kyoto, as well as the Musikfonds’ AI grant in 2027. Numerous crossover projects demonstrate her curiosity and versatility. Aulbert performs her own compositions and those of other composers worldwide, from major venues to small off-the-beaten-track stages, from Senegal to New York, from the Opéra Bastille (2028/29, world premiere of Czernowin) to the Berghain in Berlin.
