From Nicole...
"When thinking about this video and how the pandemic has impacted me, the first thing that came to mind was masks and how difficult it is to sing with them on. It sometimes feels like all of the progress I've made as a singer goes out the window, and all of my focus is on making sure that I'm still able to get enough air. Even so, I can't really complain because I've still been afforded performance opportunities, and I've managed to stay healthy (knock on wood).
|
This time has been a struggle for many, and I wanted to show what it can be like when preparing for a performance with a mask. When you're in the moment, it's frustrating, but when you have a chance to think about it, you're able to find some parts of the experience humorous."

Preludes

We (finally) unite with All In Productions to present Preludes, a musical fantasia set in the mind of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Delving into the composer’s troubled psyche, Preludes deftly blends the classical and contemporary in a meditation on ambition, failure, and lilacs.
