Port Macquarie Soprano Nina Mestric had worked for over seven months on the very demanding role of Principal singer for the  'Haydn True' concerts held on Mothers Day weekend.

Born in Sydney, Nina Mestric has enjoyed music from an early age. After performing in choirs throughout primary and high school she completed her BA Music degree majoring in singing with repertoire including musical theatre, classical and Lieder. After making Port Macquarie home, Nina joined the Hastings Choristers’ ladies group Cantabile, performing at many concerts and taking on solo parts with her lovely soprano voice. She studies singing with voice teacher Robyn Ryan.

Nina loved the opportunity to showcase her vocal expertise along with the added challenges of  being part of a quartet singing alongside the chorus and being accompanied by an orchestra. "It was great fun" she said "and I love being part of a small vocal ensemble like this quartet - the other three have such lovely voices - it was wonderful, and the choir sounded sensational too".

Although Haydn's 'Missa in Angustiis' was written for choir and vocal quartet the part composed for soprano requires great vocal stamina and energised singing with many quick semiquaver passages requiring advanced vocal technique.

Concert patrons thrilled to the sound of Nina's voice along with all the other beautiful voices for this amazing work in the resonant acoustic of the Port Macquarie Baptist Church.
