Why hire Fabiana Katz?
Would you like to hear your favoruite Opera arias?
Or perhaps something lighter and more intimate ~ small Italian art songs or lieder by Schumann, Schubert or Brahms.
Is funky Latin music what you're after? - Rhythmic, passionate, and exciting, from the heart. From art songs to popular and folk genres from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, or Cuba.
Maybe you want something to make you feel more ethnically connected. You might enjoy music in Hebrew, Ladino or Yiddish from the old country, or its offspring in the new world ~ music from 2nd Avenue, from the early forms of musical theatre to modern day Broadway musicals.
About
Immersed in music in her native Argentina, Fabiana Katz moved to Canada at the age of 14. She earned a bachelor degree at the University of Calgary and a Masters of Music from College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.
Critics have used words like “chocolate” and “caramel” and "maple syrup" ;^) to describe the richness and shimmering quality of Fabiana’s voice, but she has also acquired a range and an edgy and dramatic vocal timbre that make her performances both intimate and powerful.
She has appeared as a soloist with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, the Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Orchestra, the Prince George Symphony Orchestra, the CBC Radio Orchestra, and the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra, among others. She is also a professional singer with the Vancouver Chamber Choir and founding member of the a-cappella trio Kallisto, which has received accolades around Canada.
What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 20 - 120 minutes
Although Fabiana has appeared with large orchestras and choirs, it is her candor, openness, and commitment to expression which allows her to create the close and intimate performance you might expect from a friend singing in your own living room.
Whatever your musical preference, Fabiana is equally at home singing opera arias, smaller art songs, jazz standards, musical theatre, cabaret, ethnic and folk genres, accompanied by piano, guitar or small instrumental ensemble. She will put together a program to suit your particular needs with the music you and your guests would love to hear.
