Soprano Carol Eikum has had a solo performing career focused on concert, oratorio and recital literature with numerous musical organizations, colleges, universities, and churches in the Upper Midwest and other regions of the United States and Europe. She was reviewed as an ‘excellent and dramatic soprano’ for her performance of Dresden Canticles by David Dickau with the Northwestern Choir in Dresden, Germany. She has been the soprano soloist in numerous major works, such as Brahms’ Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, Poulenc’s Gloria, and Haydn’s Creation.

As a featured soloist with two choirs, she traveled to Ukraine numerous times, where she also soloed with the Kiev Symphony Orchestra.
