A musical jack-of-all-trades, as she likes to describe herself, soprano Njeri Mwaniki presents an experience of song from various genres. Classical arias will include composers such as Purcell, Schumann, and Giordani. She'll also sing from musicals such as Mamma Mia and Les Misérables, and artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Whitney Houston. Njeri may surprise you by performing an original song.
Pianist Bob Hansen will accompany her.
