Arwen Myers

Praised for her “crystalline tone and delicate passagework” (San Francisco Chronicle) and for the warmth and “deep poignancy” of her singing (Palm Beach Arts Paper), soprano Arwen Myers captivates audiences with radiant artistry and technical precision. A “rare vocalist who’s as comfortable performing early music as she is taking on contemporary works” (Stir Vancouver), she brings expressive range and stylistic fluency to repertoire from the Baroque to today.

Arwen’s solo appearances have spanned leading ensembles across North America, including Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Charlotte Bach Festival, Seraphic Fire, and Lorelei Ensemble, and she has collaborated with such distinguished conductors and leaders as Nicholas McGegan, Monica Huggett, David Hill, Alexander Weimann, Beth Willer, and Aisslinn Nosky.

The 2025–26 season marks the release of two landmark recordings: I Melt in the Sun of Your Beauty with Baroque Music Montana, recorded at the exclusive Tippet Rise Art Center, and Philip Glass’s 1000 Airplanes on the Roof with Third Angle New Music – the only complete recording of the work. She previously created the soprano role in the world premiere and recording of Zachary Wadsworth’s JUNO-nominated When There Is Peace with Chor Leoni, released in 2019.

Her recent performances have drawn consistent acclaim: “radiant voice and impeccable technique” (Oregon Arts Watch), “rare combination of refinement and beauty” (Vancouver Classical Music), and Bach “so joyful it made me want to dance” (WDAV Charlotte). Of her title role in Handel’s Semele, San Francisco Classical Voice noted, “Her musicality and demure demeanor remained a renewable pleasure.”

Based in Portland, Oregon, Arwen lives with her husband Brian – better known to Portland Baroque Orchestra audiences as PBO’s Operations Manager! – and a very sassy tabby named Florentine. Learn more at arwenmyerssoprano.com.
