Following on the heels of his popular CameraMusic online performance in early 2022, Michael Stephen Brown makes his live concert debut at Chamber Music Detroit, as he prepares for a rare solo recital appearance at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York.
Nominated for this year’s GRAMMYTM Award for Best Classical Instrumental Performance, the visionary cellist Seth Parker Woods headlines a program featuring the stirring “Transfigured Night” by the 25-year-old Arnold Schoenberg, and works for cello and piano by Beethoven and Walker.
The 2022 winners of the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award make their much-anticipated debut at Chamber Music Detroit. Their spectacularly creative programs features gems from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, including masterpieces by renowned women composers.
Celebrated American soprano Karen Slack’s dynamic opera and recital performances combined with her passionate advocacy for racial justice and women composers make her a sought-after artist on many fronts. For her performance at Chamber Music Detroit, Slack performs Of Thee I Sing! Songs of Love and Justice, her incredibly moving program conceived during the turmoil in the summer of 2020, when the country was forced into a long-overdue racial awakening. After witnessing the murder of George Floyd on national television – as many did while confined to their homes during the onset of the pandemic – Slack felt it necessary to create a program focusing on the healing powers of justice and love. The program will include material from composers Clayton White, Undine Smith Moore, Ricky Ian Gordon, Scott Gendel, H. Leslie Adams, Jake Heggie, and Adolphus Hailstork.
