​
A contralto, Vielka has performed as a featured soloist at Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, the Knitting Factory and the United Nations among others. She has premiered several new operas and performed in musicals, plays, film, concerts and recitals. She most recently sang with the SoHarmoniums Women's Choir under the direction of Elizabeth Núñez, with performances at Merkin Concert Hall, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
“Vielka Kelly offered a nicely mysterious Pauline-Nightingale…” – Opera News
 
“Vielka Kelly plays Elsa Shraeder, the woman who almost becomes the children’s new mother, with just the right mix of moneyed superiority and melting human emotion when she meets the family and Kelly has a great voice as well.”-  The Hearthstone Town and Country
