The documentary opera is done (!) and the performances will take place over at Golden Belt in downtown Durham on April 15 and 16. The show is presented by the Duke University Department of Music, and is a double-bill with a really beautiful piece by Kathleen Bader called Tentative Embrace. My friend Jay O’Berski will be directing Smoke, and Sandra Cotton, Scott MacLeod, David Weigel, and my good friend from our Peabody days, Nakia Verner, will be singing in the production.
Kathleen’s piece will feature both the Ciompi Quartet and the Red Clay Saxophone Quartet, and I will be conducting both pieces. Check out the show’s website for more info. If you’re in the NC area, I hope you can come check it out!
