“If the angels in heaven really sing, please let them do it like Nassief. Her voice combines the best of two worlds: It has bel canto size, warmth and height, and yet is svelte, with a youthful sparkle.”  So wrote the Leipziger Volkszeitung when Kelley Nassief sang Elijah with the Gewandhausorchester and Kurt Masur on the occasion of the sesquicentennial of Mendelssohn's death. Her critically acclaimed and exquisite performances on symphonic stages across the globe have established Ms. Nassief as one of the world’s leading concert artists. In season 2012-13 she reprises Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony in her debut with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Upcoming 2013-14 engagements currently include singing as soprano soloist with Richmond Symphony in Verdi’s Requiem.
