Young Canadian soprano Agnes Zsigovics, "whose crystal-clear singing and musical manner are everything that one could ask of a Bach soprano" (Ottawa Citizen, 2008) appears with leading orchestras and choirs across Canada. She made her debut with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in Bach's St. John Passion under the direction of Maestro Helmuth Rilling in 2007.
