Artist Info: Beth Quist

Beth Quist is a multi-instrumentalist performer, composer, and singer, as well as the lead vocalist in the Las Vegas production of Cirque du Soleil's KA. Her hypnotically beautiful style of singing combines the strong melodies and lyricism of traditional Western vocals with influences from the Balkans, Middle East, and India.

Quist—who began playing piano at age 2—has a 4-octave soprano voice, and in addition to piano plays santour (hammered dulcimer), dumbek, guitar, flute, and any other "toy" she can get her hands on. [read more...]
