| About Nadia |
|
New York-based violist Nadia Sirota has commissioned and premiered dozens of new works by composers and songwriters including Nico Muhly, Valgeir Sigurðsson, Ryan Streber, Judd Greenstein, Marcos Balter, and Ben Frost. As a soloist and chamber musician, she has collaborated with artists such as Joseph Kalichstein, Itzhak Perlman, and the Silk Road Ensemble, and has performed extensively in New York and abroad.
After winning top prize in Juilliard's concerto competition in 2005, Nadia performed Hindemith's Der Schwanendreher in Alice Tully Hall with the Juilliard Orchestra under the direction of Marin Alsop. While attending Juilliard, Nadia started many programs dedicated to New Music, including Juilliard Plays Juilliard, an initiative that pairs interested performers with composers with the goal of creating compelling and informed performances of new works, and The New Music Project in the Castleman/Amory/Huang studio, as well as being a founding member of the AXIOM ensemble.
In the fall of 2007, Nadia will join the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music for its new Masters Program in Contemporary Music Performance.
Nadia is a member of the Tetras String Quartet, the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME), and the collaborative, multimedia group VisionIntoArt (VIA), as well as being a founding fellow of The Academy -- A Program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute. In the spring of 2008, Nadia will release an album on the newly-minted New Amsterdam label.
Nadia has recorded for MTV2, Neuma, Bedroom Community, Royal Academy of Music, and 11:11 records and has performed on NPR's Morning Edition, BBC Radio 3, CBS Morning Edition, A&E Breakfast with the Arts, and Late Night with Conan O'Brian.
Nadia received both her undergraduate and Master's degrees from the Juilliard School, where she studied with Heidi Castleman, Misha Amory, and Hsin-Yun Huang. More information on nadiasirota.com.
