NARIA (“Aria” refers to the show-stopping moment in an opera, the “N” represents “The North” — NARIA is proudly Canadian). Four dynamic voices whose vocal artistry and original compositions feature a synergy of opera, pop, techno, classical and world music genres in a unique and electrifying trademark style. Our journey started in the fall of 2010. We four ladies came together for the first time in the recording studio to record our single“ I found a little Christmas”. There was an immediate kinship between all four of us and our bond continues to grow and strengthen with every experience we share together. We join together from diverse backgrounds including, Opera, Pop and Musical Theater. We bring all of these genres together blending them in to our unique “Classical with an Edge” style. The one thing that drives and unites us is our passion for creating and performing beautiful, moving music that reaches out and touches a broad audience. Katya Tchoubar, Anna Bateman, Michelle Danese and Annaliese Jelilian have worked relentlessly to create and establish NARIA as one of the most exciting Classical Crossover groups. NARIA has maintained the #1 spot on Reverbnation’s Classical/Pop charts in Canada and ranking # 30 in the world and their YouTube Channel has reached 700K views. NARIA was re branded into a classical crossover trio, ViVA in 2014. Check out this new and exiting group via www.vivatrio.com.
