Nadia Bohachewsky Soree is an American harpsichordist and pianist currently residing in San Antonio, Texas. Highly sought after as both a soloist and continuo artist, she offers a deeply personal and highly expressive approach to centuries of repertoire and especially delights in sharing early music and the harpsichord with her audiences. Soree began her musical career as a pianist, receiving her Bachelor of Music degree from The Juilliard School, where she studied under Martin Canin. Additionally, she considers herself fortunate to have studied with celebrated pianists Ilana Vered and Adam Wodnicki. As a pianist, Soree was featured on WQXR’s Young Artists Showcase and performed on several occasions with the New Jersey Symphony as the first-prize winner of their Young Artist Competition. Also noted for her interpretation of Chopin, she was a prizewinner in the Kosciuszko Foundation National Chopin Piano Competition. She frequently performed throughout the greater New York area, including appearances at New York’s Cami Hall and Weil Recital Hall of Carnegie Hall.

While continuing her studies at Rutgers University, Soree fell under the spell of the harpsichord, and completed her Master of Music degree under the tutelage of Charlotte Mattax Moersch. She had the privilege to study, either privately or in master classes with prominent harpsichordists such as Gustav Leonhardt, Kenneth Gilbert, Davitt Moroney, and Catalina Vicens. Within only a few months of immersion into the world of the harpsichord, she was one of five finalists and received an Honorable Mention at the prestigious Musica Antiqua International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges. Subsequently, she was a laureate of the Southeastern Historical Keyboard Society International Harpsichord Competition and first-prize winner of the J.S. Bach International Harpsichord Competition in Montreal. She resumed her relationship with the New Jersey Symphony as their primary harpsichordist, giving her the opportunity to play continuo with such noted artists as Renee Fleming and Pinchas Zuckerman.

Soree’s professional life then took a dramatic turn, as she embarked on a legal career. After earning her Juris Doctor from the Yale Law School, she spent two years in the Office of the Legislative Counsel of the United States House of Representatives, after which she joined the faculty of St. Thomas University School of Law, teaching Criminal Law and Procedure. As a legal scholar primarily focusing on the Fourth Amendment and false confessions, her work was cited by numerous treatises and courts, including by the Supreme Court of Connecticut.

After eleven years of teaching law, Soree could no longer resist the pull back to music and completed her Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Harpsichord and Early Music under the guidance of Brad Bennight at the University of North Texas, where she was a Teaching Fellow. Since returning to the harpsichord, Soree has appeared at the Boston Early Music Festival, where she performed with the UNT Baroque Orchestra, and made her West Coast recital debut as part of the MusicSources concert series in Berkeley, California. Soree now calls San Antonio home. In addition to regular solo recitals in the greater San Antonio area, she performs as a harpsichordist for Sonido Barroco San Antonio and Austin Baroque Orchestra and is a member of the music faculty of San Antonio College.
