Sidney Outlaw & Warren Jones in Concert to Open HALO 24/25 Season
Sidney Outlaw & Warren Jones in concert is a one-time only event on Sunday, September 15 at 2pm
Romantic impulses. Complicated relationships. Existential crises. A pool of human emotions so intense that they can only be expressed through song. This September, join Holy City Arts & Lyric Opera-HALO-as they begin their 24/25 Season with a concert by Grammy-nominated baritone Sidney Outlaw and pianist Warren Jones that leads you through a musical journey from the tragedy of hopelessness to the ecstasies of passion.
The 60-minute program crosses genres and languages, presenting classic Italian, German, and French repertoire by Rossini, Brahms, and Duparc, as well as highlights a new English song cycle by Atlanta-based composer B.E. Boykin. The cycle, entitled 26 Ways of Looking at a Black Man, is based on the poetry of Raymond Patterson (1929-2001), a prominent African-American poet, writer, librettist, and educator.
This recital also marks the beginning of HALO's residency at St. Johannes Lutheran Church in downtown Charleston. The sanctuary at St. Johannes will now serve as the performance hall for HALO's intimate concerts, lectures, and recitals, and will continue to serve as their rehearsal and audition space throughout the year.

- September 15, 2024 @ 2pm-Sidney Outlaw & Warren Jones in concert
- December 6, 2024 @ 6pm-Carols by Candlelight
- May 4, 2025 @ 4pm-Singers & Stanzas, Vol. II
