Henriette Feith studied solo singing at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam with Cora Canne Meijer. Since graduating, she has focused mainly on baroque, oratorio and chamber music.
Henriette has been a regular duo with pianist since she was a student Maurice Lammerts van Bueren, with whom she recorded the CD Curiosity Killed .... This CD is entirely dedicated to American song. With Maurice Lammerts van Bueren, she gives song recitals with great regularity, and they have long been associated with the Friends of Song together.
Her affinity for early music, in addition to regular participation in baroque concerts, is evidenced by her collaboration with lutenist David van Ooijen. Their CD La Cecchina, which includes a selection of songs from Francesca Caccini's Il Primo Libro delle Musiche (1618), was reviewed in De Telegraaf under the heading Sympathetic beauty. Further: ‘Beautiful repertoire, performed with an equally beautiful and personal voice ...’ She also performs with David van Ooijen for the Friends of Song.
Henriette Feith was for many years a freelancer with the Amsterdam Baroque Choir, the Netherlands Chamber Choir and the Groot Omroepkoor. She is initiator and programmer of the vocal chamber music series Music On Chairs, which started in Amersfoort in 2015. She also collaborated in this context with pianist Maurice Lammerts van Bueren, baritone Sinan Vural, the Apollo Ensemble, David van Ooijen (theorbo), Lidewij van der Voort (baroque violin), Cassandra Luckhardt (gamba), mezzo-soprano Cécile van de Sant, Judith Jamin (harp), Francien Post (flute) and the Arte Duo (Lineke Lever, piano and Aubrey Snell, the duo Izhar Elias (guitar) and Levan Tskhadadze (clarinet), baroque ensemble Fantasticus and countertenor Kaspar Kröner.
