(Nozuko Teto)
South-African soprano Nozuko Teto was born in Bizana,
Eastern Cape. She obtained her Bachelor of Music from the University of
KwaZulu-Natal as a student of Colleen Philp. In 2010, she received her Artist
Diploma from the University of Cape Town as a student of Kamal Khan and
Virginia Davids.
She recently appeared at Ireland's famous Wexford Festival in
Frederick Delius’ Koanga.
The following is quote from Mark Pullinger’s review of
October 22. “Soft as the sound of silver torrents playing on the rocks” is how
Koanga describes Palmyra’s voice and that’s a pretty accurate assessment of the
qualities displayed by South African soprano Nozuko Teto. She has a glorious,
full lyric soprano which gleams throughout its range. Her Act II arioso The hour is near, when I to him my soul surrender
was powerfully delivered, her diction crystal clear. ...Nozuko Teto needs far
more than an occasional outing. Let’s hope some casting agents were afoot among
the Wexford audience."
