| BIOGRAPHY |
| Ivana Kunc comes from a musical family. Her aunt was soprano Zinka Milanov, and her father, noted Croatian composer Božidar Kunc. Ms. Kunc, a lyric soprano, has performed with numerous opera companies including Opera Northeast, Amato Opera, and Brooklyn Lyric Opera. She has sung the roles of Mimi in La Boheme, Pamina in The Magic Flute, Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, Antonia in The Tales of Hoffmann, and Juliette in Romeo and Juliette among others.
Ivana has performed solo recitals throughout the Tri-State area with material ranging from operatic arias and classical art songs to Broadway musical favorites.
In December 2006 Ms. Kunc gave a concert of her father’s vocal pieces at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. She has since released a studio recording of these songs entitled “Music of Božidar Kunc”. Much of the music on this CD is being presented for the first time.
This CD was predominately featured on the Croatian Radio 3 (Hrvatska Radiotelevizija) broadcast “Solo Tutti” hosted by Franjo Bilic.
Durda Otržan of WAM Magazine writes: “She handled Kunc's songs not only with a great deal of warmth and deftness, but with maturity, vocal beauty, and her own physical presence which recalls her aunt in her best years.”
Ivana devotes much of her time to promoting her father’s music.
A native New Yorker, animal rights activist and vegetarian, Ivana now resides in New Jersey with her husband, guitarist Monroe Quinn, and their two cats.
