Broadway...our way!
We wanted to change the way people think about Broadway showtunes. Modern. Hot. Cool. Hip. On fire. Take Nicole's amazing award-winning voice and match it with Broadway's biggest hits (with maybe a few surprises thrown in). Years of work and thousands of hours of writing, performing, and rewriting. But we think we are going to totally surprise you with the outcome. Audiences are blown away.
We hope you will be too!
27-Piece Orchestra
Very few artists work with a large studio orchestra any longer. It's expensive and it is a lot of music to write. But what would happen if we brought back the studio orchestra that Sinatra and Ella and Shirley Bassey all toured with? And hired some of the top musicians in the country for the recordings. It's a sound you haven't heard in decades. Updated.
And we think it's going to blow you away.
Inspired Orchestrations
Many musicians can write an arrangement. But we wanted to really do something different. With the vision of creating explosive arrangements that activate the ears and minds of listeners in new ways. We collaborated with two world-class creative geniuses for this project to write the music for studio orchestra and symphony orchestra. Nick Baratta and Kim Sharnberg. When you hear the results, you won't believe your ears!
