Ukrainian-Canadian dramatic soprano Antonina Ermolenko is fast gaining international acclaim for her “diva’s vocal technique and dramatic flair” (Promin), along with her sense of “lyricism and emotional depth” (New Pathway). A disciple of Martina Arroyo, Antonina’s musical approach hearkens back to the Golden Age of opera, while infusing her own unique, character-driven approach to the art form.
Antonina is thrilled to perform, as on November 2, Toronto's George Weston Recital Hall rings with music of defiance. From the streets of Hong Kong to the plains of Ukraine, from the turmoil of Iran to the struggle in China, this concert brings together the oppressed across the globe.
