They’re two of opera’s hottest rising stars. Bolivian soprano Shelén Hughes Camacho and American baritone Joseph Parrish have impressed audiences and competition juries around the globe, with their “elegance and eloquence” (Seen and Heard International) and “arresting stage presence” (Opera News). Now, these two young vocalists make their Cliburn Concerts debut with an eclectic program spanning spirituals, opera, art song, musical theater, and pop music, accompanied by pianist Amir Farid. Don’t miss this one-night performance by these extraordinary young artists —partners on and off the stage— on the brink of stardom.

Artist, composer, vocalist, and Spiegeltent favorite Martha Redbone returns to Bard SummerScape with a musical celebration of the words and legacy of bell hooks. In this developmental work-in-process, Redbone and longtime musical collaborator Aaron Whitby embark on a multidisciplinary musical exploration of bell hooks’s landmark poetry collection, Appalachian Elegy: Poetry and Place. Known for their powerful and award-winning settings of poets Ntozake Shange in for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf (2019 Drama Desk Award; 2022 Broadway revival) and William Blake on the album, The Garden of Love: Songs of William Blake, Redbone and Whitby channel bell hooks’s meditative, confessional, and political lyricism into a genre-defying soundscape that echoes the spirit of her Kentucky roots and heritage she shares with Redbone.
