Nicole Murad, Vocalist
Nicole Murad is a dulcet toned, classically trained singer who studied voice with Marni Nixon, "The Voice of Hollywood". Tracing her Sephardic lineage back to 1492 Toledo, Spain, she is well known for her numerous performances of Sephardic repertoire and songs of the Jewish experience. Her award winning program, Soy Sefaradi: Celebrating the Jews of Spain, brings to life traditional Sephardic melodies in their original Judeo-Spanish language, more commonly known as Ladino. Achieving equal recognition are her more recent programs with pianist, Pablo Zinger, Tango Shalom: Jewish Tangos From Around The World as well as Ikh Zing: The Yiddish Tradition. Favorite operatic roles have included Lucy in The Telephone, Sylva Varescu in The Gypsy Princess, Lady with the Cake Box in Postcard from Morocco, and Fleurette in Christopher Columbus.
