Friederike Krum is an award-winning German Mezzo Soprano based in London, acclaimed for her vocal versatility. Her private and public concerts take her all across Europe and her audiences are mesmerized by her exceptional variety of repertoire, from classical to contemporary, as well as her ability to switch her voice from a fully classical mezzo soprano to a mellow, smooth voice that allows her to sing Jazz, Musical and famous crossover songs.

 

​She has performed alongside some of the world’s leading opera and crossover stars including Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Neil Shicoff, Agnes Baltsa & Russell Watson. Friederike trained in Hamburg with Professor Ingrid Kremling and later worked privately with Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.  She has received several prestigious awards and TV documentaries about her life and career have been aired.

Friederike did record a charity single with platinum-selling UK classical crossover star, Russell Watson. Friederike and Russell did perform their duet together at the Royal Albert Hall in 2018 as special guest stars in the Best of the West End show to standing ovations. She also starred with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Cristian Mandeal at the Cadogan Hall in 2018 where she sang the 'Vocalise' by Rachmaninoff & 'The Symphony of Sorrowful Songs' by Górecki.

Her talent for opera, crossover and jazz has seen her perform for TV audiences of millions and some of the world’s biggest venues and leading orchestras. A favourite of Royals and dignitaries Friederike has become the ‘Voice of Reconciliation’ as a German soprano chosen to sing regularly for the British Forces as well as German Forces. She performed at the official WW1 Centenary Remembrance service in the Cathedral of Berlin and flew out to Afghanistan on request of the German Forces to perform at the NATO camp in 2014.

Her clients & audiences include many top brands and companies across Europe as well as Chancellor Angela Merkel, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the late Baroness Thatcher, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman and the Duchess of York. She was also asked to sing the National Anthem in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal and HRH the Duke of Cambridge.

With Prince Alexander zu Schaumburg-Lippe and the EuropaChorAkademie, Friederike toured Germany with a unique "Classic meets Jazz” program and both joined Prinz Hohenzollern for a concert at the Prinzenregententheatre in Munich where they triumphed in front of a sold out house.

In Feb 2020 she released her smooth Jazz Gershwin Album ‘Somebody Loves Me’ to high acclaim from the media with star jazz pianist James Pearson on piano. Even HM, The Queen wrote a letter of praise to her. In March 2020 she performed again at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the ‘Best Of The Westend’ show which was aired by the BBC London.

​

During Lockdown, Friederike Krum was asked to perform alongside Sir Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams and Tony Bennett, Jack Savoretti, Freya Ridings in a virtual concert hosted by Nile Rodgers and managed to secure a No 1 Christmas single in Germany for her duet with Bruno Maccallini. Together they will record a new album called ‘AMORE’ with love duets to be released end of 2021 ahead of their theatre show ‘AMORE’ which this exciting new stage duo will be touring Germany in 2022.

 

Despite a busy concert schedule and as mother to two wonderful children, Friederike always makes time to support charities close to her heart. She was the very first Ambassador of the famous Chelsea pensioners at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, was “The Voice” of Children in Crisis and when the José Carreras Leukaemia Foundation asked her to support them she was delighted to perform alongside her friend Plácido Domingo Jr. at the prestigious José Carreras TV Gala.
