As a result of a Fulbright Research Award, Bree Nichols (’21 D.M.A.) will work to compile an anthology of Czech art songs so it will be more accessible to English-speaking singers and the community. The voice performance graduate will translate and write phonetic transcriptions for the songs, which are set to poetry and performed in recital halls and salons. The songs have been stored in libraries and archives for decades, and Nichols’ goal is to bring the songs to life through a recital series. For her doctoral dissertation, she created a similar anthology of Czech opera arias for sopranos that lack existing scholarship.
