Bernarda Fink, born in Buenos Aires to Slovenian parents, received her musical training at the Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón.
As one of the most sought-after singers in concerts and recitals, and highly acclaimed for her musical versatility, she frequently performed with leading orchestras and conductors in Europe and America. With a repertoire ranging from early to contemporary music, she has worked with the London, Prague, Vienna, and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, and with leading baroque orchestras under the baton of Blomstedt, Bychkov, Chailly, Davis, Gardiner, Gergiev, Harnoncourt, Jacobs, Jansons, Muti, Norrington, Pinnock, Prêtre, Rattle, and Welser-Möst. Ms. Fink was a regular guest in Argentina and at Europe’s major opera houses, and frequently performs in recitals at the Wiener Musikverein and Konzerthaus, the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, the Concertgebouw, and Wigmore Hall. Some of her almost 60 recordings have been honored with prestigious awards (Diapason d’Or, Grammy).
In 2006, Bernarda Fink received the Austrian Medal for Sciences and Arts and, in 2013, together with her brother Marcos Fink, she received the most prestigious cultural recognition of Slovenia sponsored by the Prešeren Foundation. In 2014, the Austrian Ministry of Arts awarded her the title of Austrian Kammersängerin.
Bernarda Fink also gives master classes and is a regular member of the jury in various competitions, such as the Queen Elisabeth Competition, Cardiff Singer of the World, Das LIED, the Wigmore Hall Competition and the Tenor Viñas, among many others.
