The German soprano, Julia Sophie Hagenmüller, first studied music education and history at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt and at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt. At the same time, she studied singing pedagogy with Professor Henriette Meyer-Ravenstein. After completing her studies in Frankfurt with the state examination and the diploma, she continued her education with a master's degree in singing in the class of Anja Paulus at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf. The focus of her studies was in the field of Lieder and oratorio as well as ensemble singing. She received further important artistic impulses in master-classes with Dorothee Mields, Jörg Dürmüller, Simone Kermes and with the vocal ensemble Singer Pur, as well as through Lieder composition lessons with Hans Eijsackers.

Bach's cantata Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg (BWV 149) under the baton of Helmuth Rilling.

She is also very interested in the interpretation of contemporary music. She sang in Cornelius Cardew's The Great Learning at the Alte Oper Frankfurt and was engaged for the premiere of the children's opera Die Schneekönigin at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf/Duisburg. In addition, there are also some solo and ensemble pieces of new vocal music in her repertoire.
