NADINE VORENKAMPThe Chicago Sun-Times hailed Nadine as “an expressive singer . . . she riveted our attention.” She is a rare talent with the extraordinary ability to sing a variety of musical genres with great virtuosity.The Windy City Times says “she is as beautiful in person as in voice; from her first appearance she has the audience in her hands.”Nadine’s voice fits perfectly whether singing a smoky jazz standard, an aria from The Magic Flute, in the lead role of “Christine” in Phantom of the Opera or delivering a heartfelt ballad. She has performed on the world’s most prestigious stages including Germany’s Hamburg Opera House, New York’s Eugene O’Neill Theater, the American Opera Center, The Houston Opera Center, and The Dallas Opera. Nadine’s dynamic vocals and musical versatility are evident as she moves effortlessly from jazz, pop, show tunes and classical pieces.In 2000, Nadine had the distinction of being selected from a highly competitive nationwide search to participate as a fellow in the prestigious National Cabaret Symposium, where she had the privilege to work with cabaret luminaries such as Margaret Whiting and Julie Wilson. Nadine was invited by the Chicago Bears and the NFL to help celebrate the reopening of Chicago's Soldiers' Field by singing the National Anthem at the game against Detroit (10/26/03) In December 2003,the United Artists' Alliance released Nadine’s stunning holiday CD, “Christmas Memories.”As a staple on the Chicago music scene, Nadine has performed at the Vittum Theater,the Green Dolphin Street, Davenports, The Big House, Luciano’s, Carmine’s, the Three Arts'Club(Christmas 2005), Katerina’s, Swirl and Vintage Wine Bars. She has shared the stage with renowned pianists such as Willie Pickens, Bobby Schiff,Don Stille, Patrick Holland, Chuck Larkin and Damien Espinosa, as well as the The Union League Club of Chicago's Big Band and Bill Porter's Big Band.Nadine has also performed with Chicago Jazz Giants Dave Onderdonk and the late Johnny Frigo(also on her Christmas CD).Nadine, through the United Artists'Alliance NFP, also uses her talent and time to support many charitable causes such as Children’s Oncology Services, Inc.
