Dr. Soyfer’s vocal public performance has been ongoing from 1991, and until today voice improvisation and pre-composed repertoire are in line with her other musical and artistic endevours. For example, in 2011 she combined a top quality classical piano recital with two original art songs included among Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and Beethoven.
Starting her training in voice, microphone work, and repertoire development from 3 years old, she entered a youth performing choir in Vinnitsa Arts School early on, and continued her training and performing practice ever since. Highlights include solo and ensemble work in the Ukrainian Music College in Vinnitsya, choral work with John Tuttle and Counterpoint Chorale, being a soloist and Collaborator in Humanity in Harmony Festival 3 times, as well as a solo in Jubilate Singers choral performance in 2016. The ongoing projects include composing for small ensemble and collaborating with other artists to premiere Nina’s works and her co-composed works with students and friends, including William Izungo, Brenda Ornelas, and many more.
Her PhD dissertation is partly in voice pedagogy and partly in voice repertoire/warm up composition, as well as stage etiquette. Nina Soyfer has been teaching/coaching voice since 1998 and enjoys working in styles that include classical, popular, and partially soul and jazz. She studied with Iaroslav Kushka (prof. of voice and popular voice studies in Ukraine), Robert Lowen (RCM vocal expert), Michael Donovan (opera soloist, composer. Prof. of voice), as well as Stacey Asiedu (soul), Sharie Marshal (jazz), and diction/tone Joy Juckes, and others.
Currently Nina Soyfer is collaborating and proposing new performances, as well as teaching vocal technique and songwriting for all ages.
