Nadezhda Boyko

In the choir since 2019

Nadezhda Boiko (soprano) was born in Moscow. She studied at the Academic music college at the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory and later graduated from the choir conducting department of the Conservatory. She has worked as a chorus master, concertmaster and choir singer with various choirs (including her work as a chorus master and choir singer at the “Russian Opera” theatre in 2009–2011). She is also the founder of the “Force MAJEURE” student choir band at the Higher School of Economics.

In 2012–2014, Nadezhda Boiko earned her master’s degree at Hochschule für Musik (Dresden) where she studied conducting (under Hans-Christoph Rademann) and singing (under Semperoper soloist Christiane Hossfeld).

At the same time, she attended madrigal singing master classes in Urbino, Austria Baroque Academy courses in Gmunden, and a medieval music master class in Besalu. She also took lessons from baroque singer Deborah York.

Upon returning from Germany, Nadezhda Boiko began her singing career and collaborated with such ensembles as La Villa Barocca, Musica Dulci Sono, Sine Nomine, Capella 415, Eidos, Questa Musica, and Intrada.

A mother of two 3-year-olds, Nadezhda Boiko has been a member of the musicAeterna choir since autumn 2019.

HOW DID YOU COME TO BE A MUSICIAN?
My career choice was largely determined by my parents, but when I joined the children's choir, I fell in love with music once and for all. That's when I decided to enter the Choral Conducting department. At the rehearsals with musicAeterna, many years after the first impression of the music, I still feel thrilled when analysing the material and while singing.
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST CONCERT?
It was Mozart's Requiem. I was in my first year, I didn't feel confident being in the choir yet. However, it felt incredible: as if I was part of every chord, part of the overall harmony, part of a large ensemble with the orchestra and soloists, and, ultimately, part of the music.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC?
I especially love Renaissance madrigals and medieval music. I studied madrigal singing in Urbino, took private vocal lessons from the Baroque singer Deborah York. I can listen to Claudio Monteverdi non-stop. His Amor, part of the madrigal Lamento della Ninfa, helps me to harmonize myself. I dream of performing this kind of music more.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?
I was born in Moscow, lived and studied in Germany, travelled a lot, but I always dreamed of living in St Petersburg. I am happy that I managed to make this dream come true, and even together with my beloved colleagues. If I hadn't been into music, I would have connected my life with travelling or with cinema. I don't enjoy routine. Trips help me to switch from it, they revitalize me.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN LIFE?
Family and quality time spent with the loved ones is very important to me. I have two children, interacting with them helps me to get to know myself in new ways. I constantly think about what I could do to make their future bright. It's difficult to combine frequent touring with parenting, but I do my best.
