BROOKLYN BASED: Violist Nadia Sirota Gives Voice to Other Composers
BROOKLYN BASED: Violist Nadia Sirota Gives Voice to Other Composers
BY DAVID CHIU
"Her new album, Baroque, is made up of works by several different composers–including Judd Greenstein (“In Teaching Others We Teach Ourselves”), Nico Muhly (“Etude 3”), Missy Mazzoli (“Tooth and Nail”) and Daniel Bjarnason (“Sleep Variations”–highlighted by her viola, of course, and a sound that is atmospheric and avant-garde. First Things First, Sirota’s 2009 album debut, consisted of entirely of projects she commissioned while she was still a student at Julliard."
