Started her musical training at the Musikhochschule in
Trossingen (Germany). She continued her studies at the University of Mainz
and completed her master degree at the Music Academy in Basle. It was in
Basle that she was first inspired to delve into contemporary music. This
led to close collaboration with such composers as Heinz Holliger and Jürg
Wyttenbach.
Sylvia Nopper soon became one of the most sought-after singers on the
German new music scene. She has made numerous recordings for radio,
television as well as on many labels. She has premiered more than 70
pieces, many of which were written specially for her.

early 20th century-music and all kinds of Lied. She has participated in
many festivals and performed with well-known orchestras and ensembles,
including b.e.a.m., Contrechamps Geneve, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble
Recherche and Collegium Novum Zürich. She also has her own ensemble
Oaequator1.
