Veronica Bell:

Into the Wonderland

Classical crossover soprano Veronica Bell invites listeners to experience the enchanting beauty of the season with her latest holiday album, "Into the Wonderland."  Joined by a talented ensemble featuring pianists Greg Schreiner, Sergey Chipenko, and Kevin Tokars, Jacob Nakhman on clarinet, Paul Moser on guitar, bass, and percussion, this album takes listeners on a journey beyond the typical holiday fare, merging elegance with warm familiarity.

Veronica's rich and soulful soprano shines throughout the recording, offering a refreshing take on holiday classics while introducing original compositions that resonate with the listener's spirit. The artistic collaboration between the musicians elevates the album, creating a harmonious blend that is both comforting and uplifting.

A meticulously crafted collection of songs includes a variety of tunes from different cultures: American, Ukrainian, Austrian, French, and Jewish. With creative arrangements that blend classical motifs and contemporary sounds, each track will speak to those seeking a more refined listening experience this holiday season. “Into the Wonderland” invites you to slow down, reflect, and cherish the beauty of the moment, fostering an atmosphere of serenity and nostalgia, and makes it a perfect soundtrack for cozy evenings by the fire.

Veronica Bell:

Midnight Affairs

Classical vocalist Veronica Bell challenges traditions in her new crossover album Midnight Affairs.

" I know it's crazy to put the Tchaikovsky's aria and Gardel's tango practically next to each other but... I believe that music is a reflection of our souls where everything is mixed together; why should a record be any different?" - Veronica Bell 

Operatically trained, Russian-American soprano Veronica Bell is not afraid of raising a few eyebrows. She proudly wears the title Antichrist of Opera given to her for recording Va Pensiero chorus from Verdi's Nabucco as a solo piece accompanied by ... yes, a metal band. In her new album she takes full advantage of the wide-open field of classical crossover genre. Not only she transforms solo arias into duets and trios and instrumental music into vocal, she also combines separately written pieces into one and re-works orchestrations to fit her vision.  She has a full three-octave range and a big personality, and she is not afraid to use either. Everything she creates exudes passion, and it's contagious and convincing.
