Opera Revue confirms Len Torrie’s “crystalline tone, expressive versatility and storytelling depth.” A sought-after soloigst, Len has sung internationally for leading early music organizations including Early Music Vancouver, L’Harmonie des Saisons, Mercury Baroque, Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, and Ensemble Caprice.

“Gifted with a beautiful and remarkably effective voice” (Le Devoir), Len holds a master’s degree in early music vocal performance from McGill University. Len has studied under Suzie LeBlanc and Dominique Labelle and trained internationally with the Accademia Europea dell’Opera and the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart. They are one-third of the medieval trio COMTESSA, where they sing and play citole and Anglo-Saxon lyre.

Len draws on the wisdom of queer elders and Eastern European ancestors in their research and performance of radically inclusive stories. Their work bridges early music and folk traditions and includes self-accompanied performance on both period and modern instruments, making their unique performances “Haunting [and] impossible to forget” (Houston Press).
