The contralto Gerhild Romberger, who comes from the Emsland region, studied music education and voice in Detmold and took courses in art song interpretation with Mitsuko Shirai and Hartmut Höll.

She has performed with such leading orchestras as the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Filarmonica della Scala. Among the conductors she has worked with are Herbert Blomstedt, Riccardo Chailly, Gustavo Dudamel, Daniel Harding, Andris Nelsons, and Franz Welser-Möst. In the 2024-25 season, she was heard in Mahler’s Third Symphony in Paris and Monaco, performed Mahler’s Eighth with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and sang Beethoven’s Ninth with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Romberger has been teaching voice in Detmold since 2003.
