Danielle Birrittella is a Los Angeles-based performer and composer. Lauded as, "something of a nostalgic enigma… with a penchant for impeccably balanced songwriting,” her approach to music is influenced by years of operatic training and an early childhood spent on a Hindu ashram (The Line of Best Fit). Danielle’s eclectic background yields a singular artist with an instinct for pushing the boundaries of contemporary classical music as a singer, performer, and creator of new works.
Danielle’s “high, crystalline soprano” has been said to “deliver a delicacy that is emotionally tranquilizing” (The Wall Street Journal, Georgie Magazine). As a performer she is “exposed, intelligent, earnest… powerful and persuasive” and has a “radiant, almost angelic presence” (The New York Times, The Financial Times).
A multidisciplinary artist, Danielle’s work bridges new music, devised performance, and film with a particular focus on collaborative engagement with poets, dancers, and visual artists.
