Dorothea Craxton graduated from the Staatliche Musikhochschule in Cologne with the Artists’ Diploma and continued her studies with Anna Reynolds and Barbara Schlick. She has appeared as a soprano in numerous oratorio and concert performances of early music, as well as contemporary music premières and in chamber music.

In 2009 her recordings of the complete Clara Schumann Songs and the first volume of Fanny Hensel’s Songs were released by Naxos. She first joined the Immortal Bach Ensemble, conducted by Morten Schuldt-Jensen, in 2004, recording some highly acclaimed CDs for Naxos. She has received invitations to festivals such as the Rheingau Musik Festival, the Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommern, the Handel Festspiele in Halle and the Europa Bach Festival in Paris.
