'''Brigitte Ravenel''' is a mezzo-soprano singer based in [[Nyon]], [[Switzerland]].
==Biography==
A [[lyrical artist]] with a [[mezzo-soprano]] [[range]]<ref>http://bit.ly/2GnJabm>, she leads an independent career, and performs across Europe, either as a soloist or part of the Radio Suisse ensemble, accompanied by the orchestra I Barocchisti, under the leadership of Diego Fasolis. The precision of her intonation and vocal power allows a varied repertoire: traditional orchestral works by [[Giovanni Battista Pergolesi]], [[Francesco Cavalli]], [[Antonio Vivaldi]], [[Giacomo Carissimi]], [[Henry Purcell]], as well as the masterpieces of [[Johann Sebastian Bach]], and numerous other cantatas. She sings songs by Brahms, Schumann, Mahler, Wolf, and others, as well as tunes by Debussy, Honegger, Poulenc, Barber, De Falla, Weill, F. Martin and numerous other contemporary Swiss composers, such as J-P Lavanchy, J-F Bovard, M. Hostetteler and [[Thüring Bräm]], as well as Betty Roe and Sofia Goubaïdoulina.
Trained at the [[Conservatoire de Lausanne]], in the same class as [[Philippe Huttenlocher]], she studied under a range of notable professors, including F. Cavalli in Milan and [[Maarten Koningsberger]] in Amsterdam. Her meetings with [[Christa Ludwig]] and [[Armin Jordan]] were decisive in setting out her career.
Brigitte Ravenel has performed at numerous national and international festivals, such as the Festival international de musiques sacrées in [[Fribourg]] (CH), [[La Bâtie-Festival de Genève]] (CH), La Folia – Festival de musique ancienne in [[Rougemont (Vaud)|Rougemont]] (CH), the [[Festival de musique de La Chaise-Dieu]] (FR), the [[Festival international Jean-Sébastien Bach de Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse]] (FR), the Settimana musicale in [[Turin]] (IT), La Sagra Malatestiana in [[Rimini]]<ref>http://bit.ly/2SvPweW> (IT), the festival de Musique ancienne in [[Bruges]] (BE), as well as in [[Utrecht]] (NL).
