"Toujour sincère, le mezzo de Naama Liany exprime plusieurs facettes du rêve entre prière". –Classique News France
English Translation: With unwavering sincerity, Naama Liany’s mezzo-soprano voice reveals the many faces of a dream suspended between prayer and longing.

For Luxembourg based Mezzo-Soprano Naama Liany, every song is an opportunity for connection. Hailed as “One of today’s most promising singers” by Dutch media site Jonet.nl, Liany’s life story bridges continents, leading from her native Israel to New York City to Paris to her current home in Luxembourg. Her acclaimed programs of 20th century repertoire span styles and decades, finding common ground between Milhaud and Gershwin, Mompou and Bernstein. Her captivating performances and “heavenly voice” (Yediot Aharonot America) vividly communicate the emotional heart of the music with audiences across the world.

Liany studied at the Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts, Mannes School of Music and the Conservatory of Music of Brooklyn College. She was one of only six vocalists chosen worldwide to participate in the Gstaad Menuhin Festival & Academy, directed by legendary opera singers Cecilia Bartoli and Silvana Bazzoni.

She has performed at the Alcalá Clásicos Para Todos Festival in Madrid, the De la Musique Avant Toute Chose Festival in Paris, and the New Year’s Festival in Gstaad, Switzerland; and was a featured soloist in classic works from Bach’s Magnificat to Beethoven’s Mass in C Major.

Liany describes her performances as a matter of, “taking music that I love and that speaks to me, and finding my own voice in it. I want to create a new experience for the audience as we go on a musical journey together.”
