Jaia Nurit Niborski is an Argentine singer whose passion for music was born in San Carlos de Bariloche, Patagonia, where she took her first vocal lessons with Gabriela Lambardi. In 2018 she graduated with honours from the Universidad Nacional de las Artes with a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Singing, studying with Eduardo Cogorno and further developing her vocal technique with Lucia Boero. From 2016 to 2018 she was a member of the Estudio Coral de Buenos Aires under Carlos López Puccio. After moving to Europe in 2018, she began an intensive solo career, collaborating with ensembles such as Cappella Mediterranea, La Chapelle Harmonique, Los Elementos, Domus Artis, and Ensemble Cantatio. She has also participated in artistic projects with Capella Reial de Catalunya, La Cetra Barockorchester, Gli Angeli Genève, La Boz Galana, Bern Vocal, Musique des Lumières, Les Ornements, Ensemble Diderot, Vox Orchester, and the Académie Baroque du Festival du Périgord Noir. Her particular affinity lies with 17th- and 18th-century Baroque vocal repertoire, though her interests also extend to Renaissance and contemporary music. She is fascinated by the beauty of the voice and its expressive potential in combination with the body and stage movement. Her growing interest in musical theatre and Baroque opera led her to participate in the International Pietro Antonio Cesti Baroque Opera Competition in 2022, where she was selected among the ten finalists and received the Akademie Konzerte Prize, which included a recital with the Tiroler Symphonieorchester Innsbruck. In 2024 she was a finalist in both the “Caffarelli” International Baroque Singing Competition in Bari and the Kattenburg Voice Competition in Lausanne.

Her operatic repertoire includes roles such as Belinda (Dido and Aeneas, H. Purcell), Papagena (Die Zauberflöte, W. A. Mozart), the Shepherdess (Venus and Adonis, J. Blow), Orazia (Muzio Scevola, G. Bononcini / G. F. Händel), Eurydice (L’Euridice, J. Peri), and Fanny (La cambiale di matrimonio, G. Rossini). In contemporary music, she created the title role in the world premiere of Los Niños de Sal by Carlos Mora (2014) and the role of Jehanne in Jehanne, opéra de château by Jimena Marazzi (2021). As an oratorio soloist, she has performed works including Messiah, Chandos Anthems, Dettingen Te Deum, and Silete venti by G. F. Händel; Ein deutsches Requiem by J. Brahms; Te Deum and Jubilate for St. Cecilia’s Day by H. Purcell; Gloria by A. Vivaldi; Miserere a 8 by J. de Nebra; Sanctus Petrus et Sancta Maria Magdalena by J. A. Hasse; Der Tag des Gerichts by G. P. Telemann; and Missa Dei Filii by J. D. Zelenka. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Jury Distinction at the SOI Fiorenza Cedolins International Competition (2021), First Prize at the África de Retes Competition (2017), and the award for Best Interpretation of Argentine Music at La Scala de San Telmo (2015). She has collaborated with distinguished conductors such as Jordi Savall, Andrea Marcon, Leonardo García Alarcón, Helmuth Rilling, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Alberto Miguélez Rouco, Matthew Halls, Johannes Pramsohler, and Stephan MacLeod. In 2021 she obtained a Master’s degree in Performance from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne in the class of Stephan MacLeod, and in 2023 completed a Master’s degree in Historical Performance at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis under Rosa Domínguez. Her artistic development has been supported by numerous foundations, including the Argentine Mozarteum and the Argentine National Arts Fund. Recently, she participated in the recording Singing in the City of Angels (17th-century Christmas carols from Puebla, Mexico) with La Boz Galana for the Fuga Libera label.
