Susannah Ruth, a mezzo-soprano based in Southern California, has been passionately pursuing her love for music since childhood. Raised in a musical household, she was introduced to a wide range of music by her parents and began singing at age seven under the guidance of Carol Foster at the Church of the Epiphany in Oak Park. Since then, she has performed in venues across the U.S. and internationally, collaborating with renowned composers and conductors such as John Adams and John Rutter.

Susannah holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music with an emphasis in Performance from California Lutheran University. Recent highlights include performing as one of two soloists in Haydn’s Missa Brevis at Carnegie Hall with the CLU Choir and singing under John Rutter’s baton in England at Bath Abbey. This spring, she serves as the alto section leader for the Santa Barbara Symphony Chorus in their performance of Brahms’ Requiem and continues to sing with All Saints-by-the-Sea in Montecito.

She remains an active member of Ventura and Santa Barbara ensembles, including Areté Vocal Ensemble, New West Symphony Chorus, and the Santa Barbara Symphony Chorus. Susannah is grateful for the opportunity to perform diverse and inspiring repertoire alongside talented musicians.
