Join us for an extra special gala evening! Kathleen Battle\u2019s soaring voice has carried her to the heights of the classical music world. The range of the five-time Grammy Award winner\u2019s repertoire spans three centuries from the Baroque era to contemporary works, which she performs with symphony orchestras and in recital halls around the world. Perhaps what distinguishes this luminous soprano most is her almost magical ability to create an unwavering bond with audiences through a voice that is \u201cwithout qualification, one of the very few most beautiful in the world.\u201d (The Washington Post)<\/p>\n
The first half of the concert will feature Liszt\u2019s \u201cDie Lorelei,\u201d Rachmaninov\u2019s \u201cSpring Waters,\u201d and works by Schubert, Purcell, and Mendelssohn. The second half will include Scott Joplin\u2019s \u201cSlow Drag\u201d from\u00a0Treemonisha, George Gershwin\u2019s \u201cI Loves you, Porgy\u201d from\u00a0Porgy and Bess, Duke Ellington\u2019s “I Got it Bad (And That Ain’t Good)\u201d from\u00a0Jump for Joy, as well as a selection from Rogers and Hammerstein, and spirituals.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from the evening support\u00a0Resounding! The Campaign for The Royal Conservatory.
