Bernarda Fink, born 29 August 1955 in Buenos Aires to Slovenian parents, is an Argentine‑Slovenian mezzo‑soprano who studied at the Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón. She won first prize at the Nuevas Voces Líricas competition in 1985, which led her to relocate to Europe. Her recording career included releases such as Petite messe solennelle (1988), Bach: Mass in B Minor (1998), Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice (2001), Mozart: Requiem (2004), Haydn: Symphonies No. 91 & 92 (2005), and Brahms: Lieder (2007). Fink has performed with leading orchestras-including the Vienna Philharmonic, Gewandhaus Leipzig, and Radio‑France Philharmonic-and under conductors such as René Jacobs, Philippe Herreweghe, and John Eliot Gardiner. Her appearances span major festivals and venues such as the BBC Proms, Carnegie Hall, and the Sydney Opera House. She has recorded for Harmonia Mundi and was awarded the Austrian Decoration for Science and Art.
