Hilá Plitmann

Two time GRAMMY Award winning vocalist, composer and actress, Hilá Plitmann, is known worldwide for her distinctive expressive & dramatic qualities, her crystalline glittering voice, and her ability to present challenging works of music with dexterity. A unique crossover artist, Hilá navigates the boundaries of musical genre effortlessly, collaborating within the realms of jazz, film, classical and world music.

Performing on many notable and award winning albums, affiliating with some of the world’s finest composers, she continues to accumulate an impressive catalogue of virtuosic recordings, i.e: Hans Zimmer’s Grammy Award nominated soundtrack to The Da Vinci Code, as well as Pirates of the Caribbean:On Stranger Tides; Eric Whitacre’s Good Night Moon with the LSO; John Corigliano’s song-cycle Mr. Tambourine Man with the Buffalo Symphony, for which she won a ‘Best Classical Vocal Performance’ Grammy; Richard Danielpour’s Grammy Award winning recording The Passion of Yeshua, with Buffalo Symphony Orchestra, and Danae Vlasse’s Grammy award winning album MYTHOLOGIES, for which she won a ‘Best Classical Vocal Album’ Grammy, to name a few.

Hilá regularly joins forces with leading orchestras around the globe, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, The National Symphony, The Minnesota Orchestra, the Israeli Symphony and the London Symphony Orchestra, and has had the pleasure of working with outstanding renowned conductors such as Leonard Slatkin, Esa Pekka Salonen, Thomas Adès, Carl St. Clair, Giancarlo Guerrero, Robert Spano and JoAnn Falletta.

In constant demand as a singer of new and contemporary music, Ms. Plitmann shines as the quintessential interpreter in the premiering of new works, such as: Frank Zappa’s orchestral staged version of 200 Motels with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; Jeff Beal’s The Paper Lined Shack, with St. Louis Symphony Orchestra; the Dallas Opera world premiere of Mark Adamo’s Becoming Santa Claus; Yuval Sharon and Annie Gosfield’s War of the Worlds with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; 

Hilá’s fine acting prowess repeatedly expands her career path beyond the concert arena to staged productions such as Eric Whitacre’s Paradise Lost: Shadows & Wings for which she received an Ovation Award nomination, and in film, as in Hershey Felder’s Dante & Beatrice in Florence.

Her own compositions, songs and arrangements, as well as her new-world music group Renaissance Heart can be heard and seen on YouTube and all other listening and social media platforms.

Hilá’s greatest wish is to inspire joy and love in others through her endeavors.

She has a sweet spot for poetry, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, takes long walks communing with Nature.
