Biography
Lara Solnicki
Canadian jazz singer.
Toronto-born jazz vocalist, published poet and composer, Lara Solnicki's repertoire ranges from straight ahead and contemporary jazz to genre bending experiments, to her chamber jazz compositions that blur the distinction between the sung lyric and spoken poetry.
She originally intended a career in opera but turned to jazz in 2008 following a brief collaboration with a classical composer, in a conscious attempt to marry her two arts, music and poetry.
