Soprano Patricia Caicedo

Caicedo recently recorded the well-received CD "Lied: Art Songs of Latin America". One reviewer noted, "Reflecting her deep emotional connection to the music, she interprets the repertory with extraordinary sensitivity and sweetness." Dr. Patricia Caicedo is available for concerts, as a speaker/professor at consortia, and as a voice teacher for students of all levels. Ms. Caicedo has earned highest honors in numerous festivals and competitions, including a prize awarded by Sony Music for best classical soloist in 1998 in Colombia and first prize in the “Concurso Nacional del Bambuco” competition, also in Colombia, in 1993.

In addition to her busy performing schedule, Ms. Caicedo is an expert in the history and musical interpretation of the Latin American art song; her current research affiliation is with the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain. A popular teacher as well as performer, Ms. Caicedo regularly gives concert-lectures, master classes, and serves as Artist-in-Residence at leading universities and as a Cultural Ambassador for the Colombian Diplomatic Corps. Ms. Caicedo made her professional debut in 1993 when, as a part of the International Festival of Classical Music, she was a soloist in Gabriel Faure´s Requiem, accompanied by the Tolima Symphony Orchestra. Since then she has been a soloist in J.C. De Arriaga´s Stabat mater and G.B. Pergolessi´s Stabat mater.

Born in Ibagué, Colombia, Ms. Caicedo began studying piano, music theory, and voice as a child at the Tolima music conservatory; then continued with private instructors in Bogotá. After completing medical studies in Bogotá, she resumed her voice studies and has since worked with Alfredo Krauss, Maya Maiska and Jana Young.

The Indianapolis Children's Choir has performed several times in Carnegie Hall. The Choir's tours mark a special honor and educational experience for the singers.
