About Us
Sonya Headlam is a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New World Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa, and she's also a musicologist and historical keyboardist specializing in the history, performance practices, and cultural contexts of music in 17th and 18th-century Europe.
She's also made three albums as leader of the Raritan Players.
So it was only a matter of time before she made her solo debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Handel's Messiah, and now she's about to make her solo debut with the New York Philharmonic in Beethoven's Symphony No.

Headlam and Rebecca Cypess will perform together at a free concert at the Americas Society in New York City on Feb.
13, the New York Daily News reports.
The concert is part of GEMAS, a project of the Americas Society and Gotham Early Music Scene devoted to early music of the Americas.
According to the project's website, the concert will explore the music of Afro-Caribbean British composer Ignatius Sancho and his contemporaries, "highlighting the theme of international circulations, featuring music that is referenced in the memoir of Olaudah Equiano, a late 18th-century Black writer who traveled around the Atlantic world."
