This holiday season, you have the chance to experience the amazing vocal talent of Ashley Nicole Soprano, who will perform at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel, for two magical shows.
Soprano is genre-fluid. Having been trained in classical music, she performs classical crossover and ranges from songs by Patsy Cline to Josh Groban to Broadway tunes.
Growing up in Fishers, Soprano moved to Charleston where she trained for three years in classical voice.
Upon returning to Indiana, she studied at Butler University and had the opportunity to perform in two operas – Elixir of Love and The Barber of Seville with Projekt:Opera in Fishers. Since that time, she has carved her own niche that allows her to perform almost daily for a variety of audiences.
Experience the voice of Soprano on YouTube. She offers a fresh unique sound. Her versatility allows her to make a song her own no matter the genre. Those at her performances have described her as‘spellbinding” while offering up her own sound.
During the fall, Soprano participated in the Worldwide Classical Crossover Magazine “Classical Crossover Star” competition, where she placed in the top six semi-finals internationally. Her music can be heard on Apple Music and Spotify where she has released her latest album Holiday and debut EP Introducing Ashley Nicole Soprano. She also shares her music videos on YouTube.
Soprano is joined this year by singer and actor Ashton Wolf, who is a high-energy performer having played in venues across the country including the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. As a solo artist, Wolf is one of the premiere dueling piano performers in the country.
Having known each other for years, the two have been looking to merge their talents in a special project. Wolf is typically more rock and roll, so as the two come together, the songs this year promise to be an eclectic mix of traditional, fun, and dramatic.
Expect to hear songs from Soprano and Wolf on their own, as well as several duets. Songs range from traditional carols such as “O Holy Night” to modern adaptions like “Mary, Did You Know?” Other songs include “The Christmas Waltz,” “Sleigh Ride,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.”
Wolf will perform his version of The Grinch story and song, while Soprano will sing her own arrangement of “Carol of the Bells.” The two will also perform a song written by Wolf’s songwriter sister Barbara Cullen titled “Comin’ Home.” This family-friendly and fun show even features a snowball fight.
