About Viva Trio
“It’s a show.”
That phrase, so deceptively simple, might be the only way to truly summarize the head-spinning, heart-stopping magic of vocal group, ViVA Trio, in full flight. When it’s declared by soprano Anna Bateman on behalf of cohorts, mezzo-soprano Erin Fisher and soprano/songwriter Katya Tchoubar to describe ViVA’s musical essence, it scans as exactly right.
Really, how else to convey what this group of superbly talented singers with their angelic/athletic voices are doing with the contemporary pop/rock songbook, recasting hits like Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World,” Sia’s “Space Between” and “Bird Set Free,” John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game,” Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and — wait for it — Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” as thrillingly accessible operatic and cinematic gems?
Indeed, ViVA Trio’s dazzling debut, Nothing Else Matters, which includes the before-mentioned songs plus two ViVA originals and readings of Evanescence’s “My Immortal” and Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful Word” (already an international smash for the three; more on that later) expertly converges classical and contemporary, blazing a vibrant new crossover trail previously tread by acts like Il Divo and 2CELLOS, albeit more glamorously.
What’s more, Nothing Else Matters was crafted with the help of a myriad of marquee composers, arrangers, orchestrators, musicians and a children’s choir — a small army by any measure. “There were a ton of amazingly talented people working on this record,” says Fisher, “and we are so thankful that we were surrounded by such an incredible team.”
Yet everyone — from Mark Camilleri to Dmitry Konovalov, Dima Graziani to Sabatino Vacca, who variously produced, arranged, and orchestrated on Nothing Else Matters — was galvanized by the spark at the heart of the project and by the emotive, gravity-defying voices of Bateman, Fisher, and Tchoubar who performed and arranged vocals on each track.
That the album was partly funded by ViVA fans via a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, confirms our heroines have connected with those across the musical spectrum in a powerful way. So yes, ViVA Trio’s Nothing Else Matters is a show, alright. But then, so is everything the globe-trotting Bateman, Fisher, and Tchoubar set their collective sights upon. “I have dreamt of creating something like this my whole professional singing career, and I view this album as my life’s legacy,” says Tchoubar. “We love every moment of every track.” Adds Bateman, “Finishing the album was a huge accomplishment. Now that we have songs we think will really touch people, we can go onto any stage anywhere in the world and perform them with an orchestra. Performing is why I got into singing in the first place. The immediacy of interacting with an audience is thrilling.”
There is something deeply compelling about hearing familiar classics like Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” or Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” reconfigured as ornate orchestral pieces hinged on an electrifying three-part harmony, with each ViVA voice distinctive as a thumbprint. Similarly, Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” — the album’s focus track and an instrumental showpiece among many — is at once instantly recognizable yet utterly new. Like all the songs here, it deftly distils the trio’s varied and acclaimed pre-ViVA career experiences such as producing and touring the world (Tchoubar) and performing all manner of key operatic roles (Fisher and Bateman).
“We have to connect with them emotionally,” Bateman explains of ViVA’s criteria for song selection. “Songs have to really lend themselves to the expanded range of classical voice. We also look for songs that have a sweeping, grand feel we think will sound great with orchestra.” In compiling the track list for Nothing Else Matters, all agree it was essential the album carry ViVA Trio’s “signature stamp,” as Bateman puts it, thus the inclusion of originals “Voices Are Calling” and “Here To Stay,” written by Tchoubar and friend Alisha Joseph and inspired Tchoubar’s time spent alone in nature. “It was all very organic,” Tchoubar says. “I presented the songs to the ladies, we collaboratively worked on the vocal arrangements and it went from there.”
ViVA Trio’s innate collective creativity has been evident since Fisher joined Bateman and Tchoubar — who had previously performed and recorded together in pop-leaning classical vocal quartet NARIA — in 2015. Widespread praise and ecstatically received SRO performances soon followed the trio’s live debut on Valentine’s Day 2015. In short order, ViVA performed at prestigious hometown Toronto venues including (but not limited to) the Palais Royale, Casa Loma, and The Living Arts Centre, as well as Ontario Place for Canada Day 150 celebrations.
ViVA Trio was nominated as Emerging Artist of the Year at the InFAME Awards and as Established Music Group at the MARTYS Award. And that previous mention of ViVA’s cover of Louis Armstrong’s chestnut “What a Wonderful World?” It was handpicked for inclusion in two South Korean TV ads. The group also performed in Poland for a televised orchestra concert ending the summer series for the Filharmonia Dolnośląska. Their tour schedule is filling up with dates internationally, and the three singers could not be more psyched. “I am so proud of the music we are putting out into the world,” Fisher says. “Our arrangements were built for the stage, and we can’t wait to perform these pieces live!”
If the success of ViVA’s crowdfunding campaign is anything to go by, fans are already chomping at the bit. “We were overwhelmed with the support,” Fisher continues. “Our initial goal was to raise $5,000 in a month. We reached it in less than a week. It was such an emotional experience for us to get our fans involved. We really felt the love.” “The journey of this album was quite dynamic and every track has a story,” Tchoubar says. “Now that it has come to fruition, it already feels like a success. I’m excited to travel the world and perform it live. To perform something of our own creation is a celebration.” “And did we mention we really, really want to perform our music all over the world,” Bateman interjects with a laugh. “We all adore what we do!”
ViVA Trio: coming soon to a stage near you. Only a fool would bet against it.
