A classically trained singer with a four-octave range, Lara Solnicki originally intended a career in opera. She has studied with dozens of internationally esteemed musicians and educators in the fields of classical music, jazz, improvised music and composition. Praised for “her outstanding musicianship” and “superb vocal technique” (Jazz History Online), for “the purity of her voice, her understanding of the most subtle nuances in lyrics and melody, and the freshness, intelligence and wit she invests in every interpretation” (−Stanley Péan, Host, Quand le jazz est là, Espace Musique).
