Soprano Agnes Zsigovics recently made her Carnegie Hall debut at Weill Recital Hall in May 2011. Her singing has been reviewed as "stylish" (The New York Times, May 2011), "hauntingly beautiful, creamy, velvety, bell-like" (The Morning Call, 2010) and "a dream to experience" (The Record, 2009). A master's graduate of the University of Toronto, she has toured internationally, appearing with leading choirs and orchestras across Canada, the United States, Europe and South America. She debuted with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in Bach's St. John Passion under the direction of Maestro Helmuth Rilling in 2007.

Some highlights of her 2010-2011 season included a tour and recording of the Bach's St. John Passion under the ATMA label with Les Voix Baroques and the Arion Baroque Orchestra, a recording of Bach's Cantata BWV 196 with the Ottawa Bach Choir, a recital at the Canadian Opera Company's Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre, performances of Charpentier's Orpheus and Eurydice, Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas Oratorio and a festival opening performance of Bach's Cantata BWV 51: Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen at the Bethlehem Bach Festival.

"...we were treated to the stellar singing of Agnes Zsigovics and outstanding playing of trumpeter Larry Wright...Jaws agape at the end of the cantata, the audience offered a much-deserved standing ovation for the performers."
(Bethlehem Bach Festival, September 2010)

In her 2009-2010 season, engagements included Pergolesi's Stabat Mater alongside Daniel Taylor at the Bethlehem Bach Festival, as well as the Bach's Mass in B minor, Magnificat and Cantata BWV 147.


"The hauntingly beautiful voices of Taylor and Zsigovics, she in her festival debut, melted together like two precious metals, hers of bell-like clarity, his a more complex alchemy, with a sheen like liquid mercury."
(Steve Siegel, The Morning Call, May 9, 2010)

In 2009, she was featured on Sony's Juno Award nominated album The Voice of Bach.


"...In two duets, Wir eilen mit swachen and Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn, Taylor is joined by soprano Agnes Zsigovics, whose crystal-clear singing and musical manner are everything that one could ask of a Bach soprano."
(Richard Todd, The Ottawa Citizen)

She also appears on the Ottawa Bach Choir's recording entitled Jesu meine Freude.


"Soprano Agnes Zsigovics owns a limpid, emotionally naked instrument; her exquisite Den Tod duet with Taylor in the first cantata just about reduced me to tears."
(Richard Todd, The Ottawa Citizen)

In recent seasons she performed Bach's St. John Passion with the Toronto Bach Consort under the direction of Yannick Nézet-Seguin, Bach's Christmas Oratorio under Maestro Helmuth Rilling, Handel's Messiah with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Bach Elgar Choir and Chorus Niagara.
