Daniel Sæther

Countertenor Daniel Sæther studied at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and the Royal Academy in Den Haag. He has performed as a countertenor in Norway and abroad since 2011 with a wide-ranging repertoire from early music to contemporary. From 2018–2020 he was awarded the Norwegian government grant Statens Arbeidsstipend to work with contemporary music for countertenor on baroque instruments and document this in concerts and recordings. In the summer of 2023, Daniel featured as Cesar in the Trygve Brøske’s contemporary opera Kom­mandanten held at the Oscarsborg open air Opera.
Sæther is a founding member of Ensemble Freithoff and Christian IV Consort (now known as Ensemble C4), both of which perform chamber music in Norway with a focus on Re­naissance and Baroque music.
  In 2020, Sæther released the album Unexpected Songs (LWC1204) for which he was nominated as Singer of the Year at the German Opus Klas­sik awards in 2021. His second solo album in 2022 Vintersong (LWC1236) achieved nominations in four categories.
