About Me

Hauntingly magical voice and flute.
Chagall’s compositions and songs have been compared to a cross between Loreena McKennitt and Enya, with a dash of flavour all her own, possibly caused by listening to too much folk music.
As a composer, she writes and records in a unique blend of genres centering around Game Soundtrack music with an ethnic, spiritual base.
Her fey voice has an alto range yet demonstrates the lightness and flexibility of a lyric mezzo-soprano which uplifts the hearts of her fans.
As a performer, she can be found playing Celtic traditionals, original compositions, and undying favorites on Toronto’s streets and for private events.
Chagall released an album of New Age/World music in 2003 as the one-woman band Between the Worlds which is now available for free download online, has collaborated with Toronto Blues/Rock band The Stoned Cattle on their upcoming album and is part of the Celtic/Country duo Rose for a Ghost .
She is currently recording an album of mostly Celtic traditionals and another album of original songs.
