Gaida's 2008 Concert & Tour History

Gaida's 2008 Concert History

Gaida grew up in Damascus, Syria and later studied classical vocal performance at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Her voice is pristine; clear and round, it resonates from within her nasal cavity – a convention that no doubt stems from Middle Eastern musical tradition, as it is not encouraged in European classical training. Her timbre is not unlike that of a string instrument, allowing her to attain expressive qualities normally out of reach for vocalists.
