Singer, actress and broadcaster, mezzo-soprano JULIE NESRALLAH is known for her sparkling personality and rich expressive voice. She has sung for leading opera companies as well as with various orchestras, chamber music ensembles and festivals in Paris, Vienna and Hong Kong. Not only is she the popular host of “Tempo”, CBC Radio Two’s classical music programme, but she is also the executive producer and star of “Carmen on Tap”, a “rogue opera company” she created to perform Bizet’s “Carmen” as dinner theatre.
An accomplished soloist, ROBERT KORTGAARD is also a much sought-after collaborative pianist and the favourite of many of Canada’s finest instrumental soloists, vocalists and chamber groups, such as sopranos Isabel Bayrakdarian, Adrianne Pieczonka, Jane Archibald, and Erin Wall, and violinist Joshua Bell. He also has performed with ballerina Veronica Tennant in a production titled “Invitation to the Dance.” Heard frequently on CBC Radio, he has numerous recordings and is the Artistic Director of the Indian River Festival on Prince Edward Island.
