threat', singer-composer-poet Niki Main's artistic practice centers lyricism and drama. They are artistically at home in numerous contexts whether it be singing in front of or composing for an orchestra, behind the audio for an installation art exhibit, or acting in a theatre or performance art piece. Niki’s singing repertoire spans countertenor, contralto, and mezzo-soprano parts from baroque opera and oratorio to romantic lieder, bel canto opera, and modern works, including premiering works by living composers. Recent projects include collaborations with the Avanti!, Lapish, and Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestras, EMO Ensemble, Key Ensemble (broadcast by Yle, the Finnish Broadcasting Company), Koekeittiö (Test Kitchen), Musaics of the Bay, and Katarina Barruk and work for festivals and exhibitions including the FRONT International Triennial, Making Home–Smithsonian Design Triennial at the Cooper Hewitt, Musica Nova Helsinki, and an UrbanApa Miniresidency at Tekstintalo. Niki has written two operatic works, It Takes a Child’s Imagination (2024) and 1994 San Marino Grand Prix (2025), both of which they premiered in Musiikkitalo, Helsinki. Other recent performances include the roasting swan in Orff's Carmina Burana with Opera BOX, chorus in Missy Mazzoli's Song from the Uproar with Ooppera Skaala, lieder by Alma Mahler with the Royal Conservatoire The Hague's chamber orchestra featured on Omroep West (Radio West), the arrangement premiere of Riikka Talvitie’s Queen of the Cold Land: Prologue for countertenor and orchestra with the Sibelius Academy Orchestra, John Cage’s Songbooks at Viitasaaren Musiikin Aika (Time of Music Viitasaari) directed by Joan La Barbara, the roles of Honour in Purcell’s King Arthur and Liberto, Lucano, and Littore (reinterpreted for countertenor) in Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea with the Sibelius Academy Opera, and Vistole in Francesca Caccini’s La liberazione di Ruggiero with the Iceland University of the Arts. Niki won 1st prize in the 2025 International Eduardas Balsys Composers Competition for their composition Ea was of water but could not cry which was subsequently performed by the Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra and broadcast by the LRT (Lithuanian National Radio and Television). Niki studied composition and singing at the Sibelius Academy with supplementary studies in early music at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague. From 2025 to 2027, Niki is a mentee through the AEC–ECSA–EJN–JMI Mentorship Programme for female and non-binary composers. Niki is a member of Suomen Säveltäjät (The Society of Finnish Composers).
