Noëlle Drost
Soprano
Noëlle Drost is a Dutch soprano and 3rd Prize laureate at the inaugural IVC Theatre in Song in September 2025, partnered with Dutch pianist Jorian van Nee. The duo's programme earned the Bierens Foundation of Arts Prize among the eleven finalist duos selected from the international field that year.
Drost trained in the Netherlands and her work has moved between Romantic art song and twentieth-century concert repertoire. The competition programme was praised for its dramaturgical clarity - a quality the new IVC competition format was created to identify and reward, as it asks duos to present the recital as theatre rather than concert.
Since the IVC
Drost is continuing recital work in the Netherlands following the Bierens Foundation Prize. Further public dates are expected through the 2026 season.
