"...Ms. Ortega is an extremely gifted coloratura soprano with a warm, powerful, and flexible sound, vey true intonation with seemingly little effort, and an immediacy of expressiveness that engaged the listener every moment." New York Concert Review at Carnegie Hall (2017).
Stephany Ortega is a Dominican-Luxembourger classical and pop singer (soprano), pianist, composer, and choir conductor. Her repertoire ranges from Baroque to modern music including opera, Lied, contemporary music, musical theatre, jazz, and pop music.

Furthermore, she has covered roles in several operatic productions including "Rinaldo" by Haendel (Almirena), "Die Zauberflöte" by Mozart (Papagena), "Cavalleria Rusticana" by Mascagni (a Lady), and, most recently, "The Hogboon" by Peter Maxwell Davies, performed with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karina Canellakis.

In 2019, they released the ICMA-nominated album "American Soul: from Broadway to Paris" (Hänssler Classic) featuring art songs, Broadway melodies, and cabaret tunes.

"ASTOR PIAZZOLLA : Tango Passion!" New Album: "Adiós Nonino" (Luxembourg Classics)
The « Stephany Ortega Trio » is a new ensemble composed of soprano Stephany Ortega, accordionist Christophe Delporte, and double bassist Adrien Tyberghein. Our goal is to create an original, appealing symbiosis between classical and popular music. We aim to intrigue and captivate our audience with a unique sound.
The trio has just released its first album, « Adiós Nonino » (Luxembourg Classics), which has been awarded the Supersonic Award by the Pizzicato Magazine ( October 2024):
" 'Authentic', is a much-overused word, but when the listener feels an instinctive connection between performer and material, the result is as unmistakable aura of authenticity ... the performances are first class ... She sings with temperament and passion, showing strong empathy and often deep insight into the lyrics and moods of the songs, which she diversifies well. The variety of colors, dynamics and other nuances make each of the sung songs an event, not least because of the highly intense accompaniment of the instrumentalists. The two expressive levels of tango - fiery sensuality and melancholy contemplation - are impressively realized. As a result, this album is a real surprise and an enormous enrichment of the Piazzolla discography."
Recital: « Astor Piazzolla: Tango Passion! »
In this recital, we celebrate the legacy of Astor Piazzolla, who created the "Tango Nuevo" style and became one of the most beloved composers of the last century. With its striking sonorities and varied rhythms, his music remains an inexhaustible source of emotion and sensuality; all generations of music lovers enjoy his compositions.
The Stephany Ortega Trio's eclectic line-up and original arrangements (by Christophe Delporte) are a testament to our passion and dedication to Piazzolla's music, allowing his songs to navigate between classical and popular music, with a touch of pop and electronica that blends wonderfully with Ortega's lyrical yet modern vocal timbre. For this album, the trio has put together a passionate, heartfelt program of the most beautiful "tango canciones" and "milongas."
After two critically acclaimed albums, "Return" and "American Soul: from Broadway to Paris," the latter nominated for an International Classical Music Award (ICMA), soprano Stephany Ortega continues to highlight her Latin American roots, bridging the gap between the classical and popular vocal styles. With charm and originality, the Stephany Ortega Trio introduces you in this recital to the extraordinary world of Astor Piazzolla's "Tango Nuevo"!
