Terence Blanchard | Champion and Fire Shut Up in My Bones
Featuring the E-Collective and Turtle Island Quartet; Visuals by Andrew F. Scott; Justin Austin, baritone; Adrienne Danrich, soprano
Sun Apr 6 | 3PM
Blanchard made history in 2021 as the first Black composer to premiere an original opera at the Metropolitan Opera. Fire Shut up in My Bones took the world by storm, and then he did it again in 2023 with another groundbreaking hit, Champion. A collaboration with Los Angeles Opera, The Soraya commissioned a world premiere of selections from both operas performed by Blanchard himself. The American trumpeter and film composer leads his own E-Collective and Turtle Island Quartet with baritone Justin Austin and soprano Adrienne Danrich. LA Opera Off Grand – Promotional Partner
