She is also a member of The Philadelphia Singers, the

since become the Managing Director of the Philadelphia-based Baroque
ensemble, Tempesta di
Mare. On her watch, they have

she’s not busy keeping Tempesta di Mare organized, Ulrike lectures on opera and voice
and teaches German diction at the Curtis Institute of Music.
