Chantal Santon Jeffery
is acclaimed as one of the most accomplished French sopranos of the moment.

She has been invited to sing along prestigious orchestras as Le Concert Spirituel, Les Talens Lyriques, Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, Les Siècles, Opera Fuoco, the Brussels Philarmonic, the Hong Kong Philarmonic… She has recently performed in Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Salle Pleyel in Paris, in the Royal Opera in Versailles, Avignon Opera, Liège Opera, Bozar in Brussels, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Palace of Arts in Budapest, etc.... Fascinated by the revival of the classic and romantic French repertoire, she has participated in numerous concerts and recordings supported by the Fondation Bru Zane.
