Phaedra Pribilla, a lyrical soprano of Hungarian and Belgian descent, is currently completing her master’s degree under mezzo-soprano Michèle Losier at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. Her education has been enriched through lessons with various vocal teachers and attending numerous masterclasses, which have made her a versatile and flexible musician. Born into an artistic family, Phaedra grew up in a fine art and musical environment, which deeply shaped her as a musician. This fostered her early love for music and cultivated her artistic sensibility.
In addition to her vocal training, Phaedra has also delved into acting. By taking acting lessons, she has learned to better portray and internalize the deeper layers of the characters she sings. This combination of skills enables her to deliver performances that are not only technically good but also emotionally rich. Together with pianist Falke Fonteyn Seidel, she forms the duo “Kvazár” bringing the beautiful and melancholic Eastern European music of composers such as Bartók, Kodály, and Szymanowski to Belgian audiences. Their performances are characterized by deep emotional resonance and rich musical interpretation.
Additionally, Phaedra collaborates with pianist and partner Samuele Tacchini in the duo “Pribilla Tacchini”. This duo focuses on the Lied repertoire of German, French, and Italian composers. Their performances are known for the harmonious collaboration between voice and piano and their ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from the subtle nuances of Schubert to the passionate sounds of Verdi. Phaedra Pribilla continually develops as a musician. Her performances are imbued with a deep passion for music and a constant quest for artistic refinement. Versatile and open to various collaborations, whether performing as a soloist or in an ensemble, her goal is always to touch her audience and provide an unforgettable musical experience.
Since september 2024, Phaedra Pribilla is Artist in Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in the class of Sophie Koch and Stéphane Degout.
