Canadian mezzo-soprano Georgia Burashko is widely recognized for her “full-bodied, velvety” voice and “nuanced” interpretations (Olyrix). Described by MYSCENA as being “blessed with a unique, burnished tone quality that is instantly recognizable and distinguishes her,” she has earned a reputation for balancing vocal power with emotional depth. Her expressive stage presence and refined musicianship have led to collaborations with leading figures in early music, including conductors such as William Christie, Paul Agnew, Nicholas McGegan, Jeannette Sorrell, Shunske Sato, and Masato Suzuki.

Continuing her longterm collaboration with Les Arts Florissants, Georgia Burashko’s 2025-26 season included appearances as the alto soloist in Bach’s Weihnachts Oratorium, continuing their tour of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen across South America and Spain, and presenting a program of both Domenico and Alessandro Scarlatti works as a part of their Spring Festival. Additional highlights included a solo recital alongside lutenist Sergio Bucceli at the London Festival of Baroque Music, Vivaldi’s Gloria with Oratoriumkoor Veluwezoom, Bach’s St Matthew Passion with the Dudok Ensemble, and a program of Bach cantatas with Gli Angeli Genève.

Upcoming, she returns to Les Arts Florissants for The Fairy Queen and a new production, Songs and Catches, under the direction of Paul Agnew. Georgia subsequently debuts with the Victoria Symphony for Handel’s Messiah and Early Music Vancouver for a holiday program of Vivaldi and Bach.

During the 2024-25 season, Georgia performed as alto solo in Weihnachts Oratorium with the Milwaukee Symphony under the baton of Ken-David Masur, and as alto solo in Dixit Dominus with the Toronto Consort. On the opera stage, she made her role debut as Virtue in Händel’s The Choice of Hercules, and she worked alongside composer Kate Moore in Amsterdam on the creation of A Beautiful Path.

Georgia’s performances have taken her to some of the world’s most celebrated venues, such as Teatro alla Scala, Versailles Opera House, Lincoln Center, and to the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms. She has also performed at the Paris Philharmonie, Tanglewood, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, Tivolivredenburg Utrecht, Koerner Hall, and KKL Luzern. She frequently performs as a soloist in performances with Les Arts Florissants and with the Netherlands Bach Society, and has worked with many leading Canadian orchestras, including the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Calgary Philharmonic, and Edmonton Symphony.

In 2024, Georgia launched her solo recital tour Beauty Awake, commissioning three new works and performing at 14 venues across The Netherlands. In Spring 2025, she recorded the complete works of 14th-century composer Soulage with Kees Boeke and Ensemble Tetraktys.

A member of the prestigious Le Jardin des Voix academy - 11th edition - under the direction of William Christie and Paul Agnew, she also completed a Master’s in Early Music at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, where she was awarded a Holland Fellowship. She was a Young Bach Fellow with the Netherlands Bach Society during the 2022-2023 season.

Georgia holds a Bachelor’s degree from McGill University’s Schulich School of Music and a Master’s degree from the University of Toronto Opera Division. Her education has been further enriched by residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Royaumont Abbaye, and Europäisches Hanse-Ensemble.
