Fabiana Katz, mezzo-soprano

Immersed in music in her native Argentina, mezzo-soprano Fabiana Katz studied at University of Calgary and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.  While critics have used words like “chocolate” and “caramel” to describe the richness and shimmering quality of Fabiana’s voice, 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 orchestras throughout Canada, and as featured guest soloist with Erato Ensemble, Vancouver’s Sonic Boom Festival, the Monteverdi Symposium, a Company of Instruments Baroque Orchestra, and the Vancouver Latin Music Festival.  She is a member of the Vancouver Chamber Choir and was a founding member of the a-cappella trio Kallisto, and the octet Stellaria.  Ms Katz has been music director of choirs in Canada and the US, most recently Jubilate! Chamber Choir and Fusion Latina, Canada's first and only ensemble dedicated to the popular music of Latin America.  Fabiana lives in Vancouver, where she is in demand as a teacher and clinician.
