Johanna von Schoultz

Johanna Carolina Ulrika von Schoultz (1813 – 28 February 1863) was a Finnish-Swedish opera singer.

She is counted as the second female Scandinavian opera singer (Justina Casagli) to have performed in Southern Europe.

She was a student of Karl Magnus Craelius, and made her debut at a church concert in Stockholm in 1828.

However, due to health problems, her active career as a singer was relatively short, only about a decade.

After marrying Felix Brand, a wealthy civil engineer, she returned to Finland in the 1840s and settled in the town of Hämeenlinna, where she continued to work with music as a teacher of singing and piano, and as a chorus leader.
