She recently premiered the lead role of "H'ala" in Layale Chaker's dynamic new opera, Ruinous Gods, with Spoleto Festival USA, where she was lauded for her “terrific lyric soprano” with “an ability to soar to the heights of her register yet keep a mellifluous delivery” (Adam Parker, Post and Courier). She has a deep passion for performing contemporary works, and uncommon Eastern European opera and art song. Ms. Kuzma is also an accomplished instrumentalist on the unique 55-stringed bandura, and currently serves as Concertmaster of the Women’s Bandura Ensemble of North America, as well as Artistic Director of the New York School of Bandura.
