Soprano Chantal Braziel is known for the beauty, passion, and magnitude of her voice. She infuses
spirit and artistry in every performance, from arias to spirituals. Ms. Braziel has coached with the
internationally acclaimed soprano, Latonia Moore, and she was a participant in Angel Blue's Opera
Training Studio, and performed in the Masterclass with the international tenor, James Valenti,
through Angel Blue's Training Studio.
Ms. Braziel is a passionate classical singer who has performed both locally and internationally, and
she also advocated for the National Opera House here in Pittsburgh, PA founded by classical opera
pioneer, Madame Mary Cardwell Dawson, in the Homewood section of the city. When the owner
of the opera house, Jonnet Solomon, was searching for local artists to help with the preservation,
Chantal felt obligated to help. With the help of her fellow soprano colleague, she helped create the
Opera House challenge, which was a video of her performing on the steps of the opera house and
brought awareness to internationally acclaimed artists; and this led to artists and organizations
donating to the opera house.
This year, Chantal won 2nd Place in the Birmingham International Online Vocal Competition.
In 2021, Ms. Braziel won the Special Mention Award in the Medici International Vocal
Competition. She also received the Women of Excellence Aspiring Artist
