Three Graces Charm On Their Self-Titled Debut Album
Three Graces (Joy Kabanuck, Kelly Levesque and Sara Gettelfinger) released their self-titled debut album March 4th on Decca Records. While it is not uncommon for solo artists to work in various genres of music during the course of their career it's a much rarer occurrence to find three individual artists with this commonality looking to collaborate on a higher level. The stunning and talented new trio, Three Graces, effectively blends their musical backgrounds in Opera, Pop and Broadway to form a new sound that resonates with any music enthusiast.

The performances on their debut album are nothing less than breathtaking, incorporating spectacular harmonies and unforgettable melodies. Each vocalist brings the best of their musical backgrounds to the forefront, as they tackle quality repertoire in multiple languages, some which they co-wrote themselves. Surrounded by brilliant production, Three Graces have created an album that will be a favorite for fans of all genres for years to come.

Joy Kabanuck starred in Baz Luhrmann's Broadway production of La Boheme. She garnered the highly coveted role of Mimi, to the adoration of fans and critics alike. Joy played the lead role of Fiordiligi in Mozart's Cosi fan Tutte and the title role in Donizetti's Betly, as well as roles in Faust, Lucia di Lammermoor and La Traviata. Joy was a Los Angeles District finalist in the New York Metropolitan Opera Council auditions and a finalist in the Los Angeles Artist of the Future competition.

Kelly Levesque (pronounced Le-Vek) recently shared the stage with the talented Andrea Bocelli during his last US tour. Kelly has also had the opportunity to duet with such artists as Josh Groban, Russell Watson and Vittorio Grigolo. On the production side, Kelly is no stranger to working with Grammy Award-winning producers and songwriters including David Foster, Diane Warren and the Neptunes. Kelly was also featured on the soundtrack of the Julia Roberts film, America's Sweethearts.

Sara Gettelfinger earned a BFA from the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. She then moved to New York City where she has starred on Broadway in several hit musicals including Seussical the Musical, The Boys from Syracuse, NINE and most recently, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Other credits include Edith ("Little Edie") Bouvier Beale, in Playwrights Horizons world premiere of Grey Gardens, and the first national tour of Fosse.

Three Graces' debut album features production and songwriting contributions from some of the finest producers in the business; Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion), Desmond Child (Bon Jovi, Ricky Martin), Guy Roche (Christina Aguilera, Michael Bolton) and Mark Portmann (Luis Miguel, Barbra Streisand).
