Soprano Elspeth Franks and mezzo-soprano Sonia Gariaeff
(two delightful, quirky, and compelling vocal artists)
present a critically acclaimed program
filled with lush vocalism, scintillating duets,
and comic flair ­ from classical to Broadway.

Sonia Gariaeff is a rising star on the opera scene, widely hailed for her florid vocal fireworks and bold comic flare. Sonia was first prize winner in the 2003 Carmel Music Society Competition, and made her debut at the Carmel Bach Festival in 2005 in the Festival's Vocal Master Class.

The August 10 Monterey Herald describes her singing as "spirited, joyous...rich, and tender".
