Our country’s waters are muddied with hate, fear, and division. What can we do?
Known internationally for her brilliant portrayals of Carmen and other opera heroines, Cynthia Clarey returns to the TCO stage! Cynthia Clarey brings her classical training and rich alto voice to an eclectic array of soulful songs made famous by Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson, Cole Porter, Lionel Ritchie, Luther Vandross, and more! Drawing on her personal experience of growing up in the South in the 1950s and her knowledge of the joyful power of music, her performance will inspire discussion about the disharmony prevalent in America today with humor, hope, and heart. In collaboration with virtuosic pianist Beckie Menzie, Ms. Clarey reminds us to be proactive in making the world better.
