November 22, 2005

In recent performances, Nikki took part in the Basically British 5 Concert (part of the Old First Concert Series). It was an exciting evening of recital repertoire with with a wonderful turnout. Nikki and rising Countertenor, Gerald Thompson, performed the duet, Sound the Trumpet by Purcell with the Benjamin Britten arrangment to bring the evening to a festive start. Later in the program Nikki performed the Dominick Argento Six Elizabethan Songs . Other highlights of the evening included Joshua Bloom performing a series by Gerald Finzi, To a Poet, and the full ensemble performing the Gypsy Songs (Zigeunerlieder) by Brahms, with tenor Brain Frutiger to complete the quartet. Lending the perfect touch - both via introduction and accompaniment, was San Francisco Opera's Head of Music Staff, John Parr. Check out a review of this performance at the San Francisco Classical Voice website. www.sfcv.org entitled "a lucious songfest".

Nikki is currently in Toronto in rehearsal for her upcoming performances as Queen of the Night in the Canadian Opera Company's production of The Magic Flute, conducted by the COC's General Director, Richard Bradshaw and directed by Andrew Porter.
