With the help from the Slosberg Music Center, rather than shutting down, we will be live streaming these five world premiere one-act operas and scenes from larger works in development! We’re including a little extra info for you, so you can get to know the pieces better and see a bit behind the scenes of the creators' process and inspirations.
The Emergence Fellowship performing ensemble features soprano Felicia Chen (debut), soprano Mary Mackenzie (debut), baritone Brian Church, clarinetist Amy Advocat, saxophonist Philipp Stäudlin, and percussionist Mike Williams.
From Slosberg Recital Hall at Brandeis University.
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Eastern / 4:30pm Pacific
