Armitage is primarily known locally as a soprano soloist, giving “absolutely beautiful” performances sung with “pitch-perfect clarity and affecting intensity” (San Francisco Classical Voice).  As a member of Vajra Voices, an all-female medieval vocal ensemble, her solo voice appears in the opening credits on the soundtrack of the feature film “Outerlands”.  She has been a featured soloist with the California Bach Society, Chora Nova, UC Alumni Chorus, Bay Choral Guild, Nash Baroque, Harmonia Felice, Berkeley Baroque Strings, and LA Baroque.

As a multi-instrumentalist, Caroline occasionally appears in performance on vielle (medieval fiddle), viola da gamba, harpsichord, and pipe organ.  On the Baroque violin, she performs with Jubilate Baroque Orchestra, Albany Consort, Nash Baroque, Berkeley Baroque Strings, and LA Baroque. On the fiddle, she plays for the Bay Area Country Dance Society.  She also appeared as a Baroque dancer at the Amherst Early Music Festival in several operas, and most recently, in a showcase in Japan.

In her early days, Caroline’s focus was choral conducting.  She has directed the Oratorio Society and Renaissance Singers at Cal State East Bay, the Montclair United Methodist Church choir, Piedmont Children’s Choir, Golden Gate Boys Choir, and Tactus SF.
