Winter Words is the solo debut release by American tenor Nicholas Phan. The recording was made in the wake of a recital tour in 2010 11, which culminated in his Carnegie debut at Weill Hall. A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and an alumnus of the Houston Grand Opera studio, Nick has performed with the opera companies of Los Angeles and Seattle; symphony orchestras of Atlanta, St. Louis, and San Francisco; and the Marlboro, Ravinia, and Edinburgh Festivals, among others. He sang in Stravinsky s Pulcinella with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Pierre Boulez, which won a Grammy Award. Nick will support this release with an extensive fall recital tour of this repertoire and a launch event at WQXR s Green Space in New York.
