1. Charlotte Ballet: Carmen
A passionate love triangle, brimming with betrayal, jealousy, and fallacy, unfolds in Andrea Schermoly’s contemporary interpretation of the 1845 classic story of Carmen. At the crossroads of rebellion and virtue, Carmen finds herself leading down the path of an uncertain fate. Two men, one woman. Who will she choose? What happens when love has exhausted its course? You will have to be there to discover the answers.

2. Samara Joy
A native of the Bronx, Samara Joy became entranced by classic R&B as a child and cuther teeth as a singer in her church’s gospel choir. And while her family history is deeplymusical—her grandparents helmed the Philadelphia gospel group the Savettes, andher father, the musician and songwriter Antonio McLendon, has produced, composedand arranged his own astounding original work—she didn’t delve into the jazz traditionuntil college at SUNY Purchase. During her studies there she won the 2019 SarahVaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, which introduced her to the larger jazzscene as a rising star to watch. She was heard, by audiences and critics alike, as amasterful interpreter of jazz standards and a rightful heiress of the sound, technique andcharisma that defined her jazz heroines—including Vaughan, Betty Carter, AbbeyLincoln and Carmen McRae.
