María Reina Navarro Crespo began her musical education studying classical guitar at the Conservatory of Novelda (Spain).
She graduated in Human Sciences from the University of Alicante with the Outstanding Achievement Award. She then began her training as a soprano at the conservatories in Geneva and Zurich and at the Hochschule für Musik in Lausanne. At the same time, she was studying musicology at the University of Geneva.
In July 2014 she completed her training as a soloist with the soprano Magarida Natividade with a Masters in Interpretation, with distinction, at the Escuela de Música de Cataluña. In the same year, she was a finalist at the international singing competition of the “Bell’arte” Foundation in Belgium. She gained her first professional stage experience with the chorus of the Lausanne Opera. In oratorio productions she is fortunate to have worked with conductors such as Ton Koopmann, Ottavio Dantone, Natalie Stutzmann, Christian Zacharias, Jean Christoph Spinosi and Leonardo García Alarcón. She has featured in works such as the Motet In Furore Lustissimae Irae by Vivaldi or the two Salve Reginas by Schubert and Leonardo Leo in Alicante, Spain, the Coronation Mass by Mozart in Marienmünster by Diessen near Munich, the Johannes Passion by J.S. Bach in St. Michael in Schwäbisch Hall, and the Mottete Exsultate Jubilate by W.A. Hear Mozart with the Camerata Europeana in the Neue Schloß in Stuttgart. Read more
She has performed internationally in halls such as the Lausanne Opera, the Théatre des Champs Elisées, the Salle aux Grains de Toulouse, the Arsenal de Metz, the Théatre du Parc in Brussels, the Museo Nacional de Cataluña, the Auditorium de Radio France and the Opéra National de Paris at home. In addition to her work as a soloist and her passion for teaching singing, María Reina Navarro Crespo sings in renowned international ensembles such as the Choeur de Radio France, Sequenza 9.3, or the Choeur de Chambre de Namur. She has taken part in master classes given by Dale Duesing and Luisa Castellani, among others, and regularly receives valuable advice from Helene Schneiderman.

Singing helps to channel emotions and simply feel good. However, learning to sing is much more: you learn a new way to breathe!
For years, I have been teaching the art of classical singing with passion. In my lessons, I give my students the tools that enable them to develop their own instrument – their voice – with a healthy vocal technique and a positive basic attitude.
