Alicia Hall Moran

Musical traditions yearning for each other across race, class, and nation grace acclaimed soprano Alicia Hall Moran’s (The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess) meditation on the classic Motown songbook — a cinematic aria fusing “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch” with Mozart, while Marvin Gaye’s lyrical pathos finds solemnity in Purcell. The Motown Project fantasizes Motor City poetics in a musing of desire and infatuation only the soul of one chanteuse could endure.
