ADI BRAUN
Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook
Adi just launched her sixth CD, "Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook"; adding to her collection of celebrated recordings, "Moderne Frau/Modern Woman", a tribute to the music of Weimar Cabaret, "Canadian Scenes", "Live at the Metropolitan Room", "The Rules of the Game", and "Delishious".
Backed by a stellar jazz quartet/quintet, Adi brings the songs of Cole Porter to life with lush arrangements of favourite Porter hits.
"Performing songs with orchestra from the Great American Songbook has long been a dream of mine. I have always loved the gorgeous music and brilliant lyrics of Cole Porter – as meaningful today as it was when they were written decades ago. For Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook, I commissioned award-winning arranger and producer Don Breithaupt to create stunning orchestral arrangements of ten of my favourite Porter songs. These arrangements bring to mind the great Rosemary Clooney/Nelson Riddle collaborations, and I’m thrilled to be continuing this legacy”
In addition to her performing, Adi is the co-host of “Classical Mornings”, a popular daily program on The New Classical FM.
"[Adi] delivers all the music the challenging harmonies and tricky intervals of which are raptly encompassed. Ms Braun always sounds as if singing is her most natural mode of expression, exhibiting a gleamingly blended tonal quality and an articulate engagement with the songs’ lyrics... a CD to die for!"

CHARLOTTE KNIGHT
Music of Broadway Shows
with Orchestra
Charlotte was raised in downtown Toronto, Canada, and completed her Bachelor of Music at The University of Western Ontario. After working professionally in opera for several years, she relocated to London, UK to pursue a post-graduate diploma in Musical Theatre at The Associated Studios.
Having previously debuted with both the Niagara Symphony Orchestra and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra in West Side Story, Charlotte debut her solo show "Charlotte Knight Sings Broadway" with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra in March 2023. She will also return to the Niagara Symphony Orchestra in the 2023-24 season to perform "An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein".
Charlotte recently made her debut at Feinstein's 54 Below, performing in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Ryan Scott Oliver's award-winning song cycle 35MM: A Musical Exhibition. Charlotte was among the last few actors still performing on stage in late March 2020 before the worldwide COVID shutdown, playing the iconic role of Elsa
in Frozen, The Musical with Disney Cruise Line. She was lucky to be one of the first theatre actors back to work mid-pandemic, playing the role of Sarah in the Canadian premiere of C-O-N-T-A-C-T in partnership with the Elgin/Wintergarden theatre in downtown Toronto.
Pre-COVID, Charlotte split her time between Toronto and London, making her UK debut as Cinderella in Into The Woods at The Chelsea Theatre, immediately followed by the title role in the UK premiere of Strauss’ The Queen’s Lace Handkerchief with Opera Della Luna at Wilton’s Music Hall. She was a semi-finalist in the 2017 Lotte Lenya Competition, won 1st Place in the Stephen Sondheim Competition at The Associated Studios and appeared as a featured soloist and vocal captain in the UK premiere and promo tour for Good Omens with Amazon Prime.
