Countertenor Daniel Elgersma started singing as a boy soprano at age 6 in the Martini Boyschoir Sneek where he soon became a chorister. As a countertenor he obtained a Bachelor and Master degree in Early Music singing at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, where he studied with Lenie van den Heuvel, Michael Chance, Peter Kooij and Jill Feldman.
On his 17th he made his debut as a countertenor soloist in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Other activities soon followed such as Bach’s alto-solo cantata Geist und Seele wird verwirret with Klaas Stok, a solo recital on Purcell’s music in collaboration with Lucy van Dael and performances in Bach’s St. John and St. Matthew Passion, motets, masses and cantatas, Händel’s Messiah, Vivaldi’s Magnificat and Gloria, Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit and Te Deum, Gilles Requiem and more. Daniel also specializes in early ensemble repertoire, such as Machaut’s Messe de Notre Dame, Tallis’ Lamentatio de Jeremiae, Das Schwanengesang by Schütz, Homo Melancholicus, Lagrime di San Pietro and Magnus Opus Musicum by Orlando di Lasso.
Daniel sings with Vox Luminis (Lionel Meunier), Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam (Harry van der Kamp), Egidius Quartet (Peter de Groot), Ton Koopman and Daniel Reuss touring in Japan, Oman and throughout Europe.
Recent performances as a soloist include Bach cantatas with Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Masaaki Suzuki, and Purcell’s King Arthur with Jean Tubéry.
