Emergence Fellowship Showcase

Five world premiere mini-operas written by composers from our international call for proposals. Composers and librettists to be featured are: Leah Reid, Caroline Louise Miller, Daniel Reza Sabzghabaei (دانیال رضا سبزقبایی) and Mina Salehpour (librettist), Jeremy Rapaport-Stein, and Niko Yamamoto.

The Emergence Fellowship performing ensemble features soprano Felicia Chen (Debut), soprano Mary Mackenzie (Debut), baritone Brian Church, clarinetist Amy Advocat, saxophonist Philipp Stäudlin, and percussionist Mike Williams.

This initiative is made possible through the generosity of Opera America (Innovation Grant Award), help and sponsorship of HC Media in Haverhill, MA, and through partnership of the Slosberg Music Center at Brandeis University.
