Inside the ornamented drawing rooms of a buttoned-up society, three young outsiders flame into mismatched passion and combust, hurtling toward irreparable choices. Tchaikovsky’s long-suppressed queerness floods into every character of this propulsive drama, as they smash against one of the most romantic operatic scores in history. Our radical adaptation maps the composer’s own complex biography onto his characters and asks — how can we ever break free of the life we are born into?

Hello friends!

I'm thrilled to announce that on November 25th at 6:00pm NYC time I will livestream on my YouTube Channel "The Cockroach Diaries," a project I've nurtured over the past two years. https://www.youtube.com/@niki_guitart

This will be a special event as I'm gearing up to record these ten guitar songs with the incredible sound engineer Jenn Nulsen. Your support would mean the world to me and will help me covering the recording costs. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps!

"The Cockroach Diaries" is a journey into the mind of a classical guitarist dealing with loneliness, creativity, and ambitions in New York City at the height of the pandemic.

Stuck in a foreign country and deprived of the possibility of performing for live audiences, the artist begins a conversation with a periplaneta americana living in the hidden crevices of her room. This unexpected relationship leads her into a quest for her own voice that will drive her away from musical scores to discover a new, empowered self.

Through classical and electric guitar, poetry and singing, The Cockroach Diaries is an intimate and explosive experience that leads the audience inside an artist's inner spaces during a time of healing and self discovery.

I can't wait to share this journey with you! We'll tackle any tech issues and go together on a journey. Please share this with your friends if you think they might be interested in joining. Here’s the link to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@niki_guitart

See you soon!

Canadian guitarist Emmanuel Lacopo and Italian guitarist Niki Todesco are joining forces for a concert that will push the boundaries of classical guitar. They'll perform innovative songs for voice and guitar, pieces incorporating electronics, and unique improvisations. By blending together diverse musical influences, they aim to create a post-classical journey that bridges stylistic and cultural divides in the guitar world, and redefine the role of contemporary classical music in today’s musical landscape.

Step into a world where the past meets the present. The Clio Artist Project, a harmonious trio of voice, flute, and guitar, invites you to a musical soiree that transcends time. From the haunting melodies of early music to the vibrant rhythms of contemporary compositions, experience a symphony of sounds that showcases the timeless beauty of classical instruments. As cultures and musical backgrounds converge, let the ancient combination of guitar, flute, and voice transport you on a journey of discovery and connection.

Found Sound Nation (FSN) presents a four-evening festival in celebration of new musical ruminations and voices, as Artists in Residence of the 2023 MATA Festival. Inspired by over a decade of gathering people for collaborative creation and exchange across geographic borders, ages and disciplines, this year’s MATA festival features composers from a range of geographic and stylistic backgrounds, embracing the many ways in which new musical compositions are created, shared and passed down. Each evening of composer works follows a theme, with a culminating night of works by Found Sound Nation that delve into spaces of our subconscious—memories, dreams, and rituals—created in collaboration with local and global artists through a series of workshops, conversations and exchanges.
