​As noted of her Amneris in Regina Opera's 2018 Aida: She had a "velvety mezzo" and "the demanding role held no terrors for her."

Katisha (The Mikado) - Bronx Opera 2019
"It’s so hard to find a Katisha with the requisite appalling face and physical decrepitude, but Erica Koehring made up for those deficiencies with brusque efficiency of manner and a dramatic mezzo-soprano...but I like a Katisha who almost steals the show."

World Premier of Angela Rice's "Thy Will be Done" at David Geffen Hall, March 6, 2018:
"Particularly fine in ‘minor’ roles were all the Marys – Rebecca Farley, Gina Morgano and Erica Koehring"

​Erica was first introduced to the sound of solo singing by sitting under the piano during her mother’s voice lessons.  From that moment, the step towards her first choral singing experience at age 8 in her home town of Indianapolis, IN, was easy, when she joined the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, a choir she stayed with through high school.  Ever since then, choral singing has always been a staple in Erica’s life, with regular performance opportunities that allowed her to showcase and explore her solo voice.

During grad school Erica made appearances as 3rd Lady in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Tisbe in Rossini’s La Cenerentola, and Madame de Croissy in Poulenc’s Les Dialogues des Carmélites, followed by other notable roles such as the title role of Bizet’s Carmen, Marcellina in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, and both Alma & Cecilia March in Adamo’s Little Women.

Post grad school she made her way to New York City and grounded herself in the rich choral scene while establishing her solo career with such roles as Azucena in Verdi’s Il Trovatore with New Rochelle Opera, Amneris in Verdi’s Aida with Regina Opera, and she most recently made her Gilbert & Sullivan debut as Katisha in The Mikado with Bronx Opera.

Equally at home in the concert setting, Erica is a professional concert soloist, reveling in the alto solos for Mozart’s Requiem, Vivaldi's Gloria, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb, and Handel’s Messiah.  With a love of art song and the intimacy of solo recitals, Erica enjoys brainstorming programs and has often participated in recitals hosted by American soprano Lauren Flanigan featuring "unknown and unsung" works and composers.
