Mezzo-soprano DANIELA TOSIC, praised for her “burnished and warm sound” (Boston Musical Intelligencer) and “dark, lustrous voice” (Boston Classical Review), is a soloist and a chamber musician who specializes in early, contemporary, and world music repertories. She has performed in concerts throughout the U.S., Europe, and South America. Concert appearances include the Utrecht Early Music and the Maastricht Musica Sacra Festivals, Regensburg's Tage Alter Musik, the Flanders Festivals of Gent and Brussels, Banco Republico tour of Colombia, Le Donne in Musica, Rome; Boston Early Music Festival, Jordan Hall, Boston; Frick Collection and Rockefeller University, NY; Harvard University, Denver's Newman Performing Arts Center; Da Camera Society LA; the Library of Congress, Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian, National Gallery, San Francisco Early Music Festival, Stanford University, Music and Beyond festival in Ottawa and Domaine Forget in Montreal, Michigan Festival of Sacred Music and many others. Ms. Tosic is a founding member of the internationally renowned vocal ensemble Tapestry, winners of the Echo Klassik and Chamber Music America Recording of the Year awards. The trademark of the ensemble is combining medieval repertory and contemporary compositions in bold, conceptual programming. They have premiered and recorded works specially written for them by Patricia Van Ness, Robert Kyr, Ivan Moody, Margaret McAllister, Gabriel Jackson, and Sheila Silver among others. Ms. Tosic performed Steve Reich’s Tehillim with the Colorado Symphony and Cabrillo Festival Orchestra conducted by Marin Alsop, as well as at Jordan Hall conducted by Steven Drury. She appears regularly with La Donna Musicale, ensemble that focuses on 17th c. women composers, and Rumbarroco, a Boston-based Latin-Baroque fusion ensemble using period, folk, and contemporary popular instruments. Recently Ms. Tosic joined forces with Boston-based percussionist Sylvie Zakarian by forming Syldason, a marimba-voice duo furthering the repertory by creating their own arrangements and inviting composers to write for them. Ms. Tosic recorded for Telarc, MDG, Kalan, Boston Revels, and several independent labels. Her latest Album is Door Ajar with her new world music trio Telltale Crossing. Ms. Tosic teaches voice at Merrimack College.
