Praised for her “clear, bright voice” (New York Times) and “artistry that belies her young years” (Kansas City Metropolis), soprano Estelí Gomez is quickly gaining recognition as a stylish interpreter of early and contemporary repertoires. In 2014 and 2024 she was awarded GRAMMY® awards with contemporary octet Roomful of Teeth, for best chamber music/small ensemble performance; in November 2011 she received first prize in the Canticum Gaudium International Early Music Vocal Competition in Poznan, Poland.

Estelí can be heard on the soundtrack of Ken Burns’s 2024 documentary Leonardo da Vinci; the soundtrack of Lena Dunham’s 2022 film Catherine, Called Birdy; Seattle Symphony’s 2017 recording of Nielsen’s Symphony No. 3; on the first track of Silkroad Ensemble’s GRAMMY®-winning 2016 album Sing Me Home, and on Roomful of Teeth’s self-titled debut album, for which composer Caroline Shaw’s Partita was awarded the 2013 Pulitzer Prize.

Highlights of the 2024-25 season include recitals with Philharmonia Baroque and Avi Avital throughout California, and concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Tank Center for Sonic Arts, with additional tours throughout Europe and Latin America, with Roomful of Teeth. Estelí teaches at Lawrence University as assistant professor of voice, in addition to continuing her work as a performer. Originally from Watsonville, California, Estelí received her Bachelor of Arts with honors in music from Yale College, and Master of Music from McGill University, studying with Sanford Sylvan. She is a proud member of Beyond Artists, a coalition of artists who donate a percentage of their concert fees to organizations they care about.
