Ingvill Statle Skjørten

Ingvill Statle Skjørten (born 1997) is a Norwegian mezzo-soprano. She specializes in contemporary classical and experimental repertoire and works at the intersection of notated music, free improvisation, and performance. Expressive versatility and playfulness are guiding principles in her artistic practice.
She studied classical singing at the Barratt Due Academy of Music in Oslo and completed a master's degree in new music (singing) at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and the Dresden University of Music. As a performer of contemporary music, she has worked with Ensemble El Perro Andaluz, Georges Aperghis, Helmut Lachenmann, Carola Bauckholt, Sarah Nemtsov, Laure M. Hiendl, Jennifer Walshe, Maja Ratkje, Donatienne Michel-Dansac, Juliet Fraser, Elaine Mitchener, Manos Tsangaris, and Marino Formenti, among others. She regularly collaborates with young composers and commissions them to write new works.

Ingvill is an experienced ensemble singer and performs regularly with the Norwegian Soloists' Choir—where she was a member of the academy from 2020 to 2024—BachWerkVokal Salzburg, and the Norwegian Women's Choir. With the duo LiedExtended, which she forms with pianist Alba Llorach Roca, she won the audience prize at the D-Bü competition in 2024 for the game show concert “Homo Ludens.” At the Sounding Visions Award in 2025, she was a finalist with her solo program “von Spiegeln und Rätseln” (Of Mirrors and Riddles) and received a recognition award from the jury.

Since 2024, she has been part of the Tonali Stage Academy, a three-year program for young musicians who want to combine their artistic practice with social engagement. She is co-organizer of the Dresden concert series “dasKONZERTs,” which is dedicated to experimental music in unconventional spaces.

Ingvill Statle Skjørten will first perform with SCHOLA HEIDELBERG in 2026.
