Katherina Sandmeier, the Greek‑German lyric-dramatic soprano, brings a deeply expressive artistry to this year’s Grand Gala at Syros Festival 2025. Born in Athens and trained in Munich, she brings together lyrical elegance and dramatic intensity. Her performance will feature Russian art song by Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich—repertoire that demonstrates her mastery of emotional nuance and vocal color.
With her rich, versatile voice, Sandmeier shines in both powerful dramatic moments and intimate lyrical passages. Syros Festival is proud to present her interpretation, placed within our Gala’s program that explores song cycles from Romantic to 20th-century masters. Audiences can expect a night of emotional depth, combining her German training’s precision with her Greek warmth—a true highlight of the October Slovenian evening.
