Michaela Wright, mezzo-soprano

Immerse yourself in the joys and strife of womanhood in a Baroque exploration of empowerment through the lens of early classical music. With compositions by both male and female-identifying composers, the recital spans the emotional spectrum from anguish to charm and whimsy. Mezzo-Soprano, Michaela Wright brings the pieces to life with a chamber ensemble of top notch musicians under the music direction of Caitlyn Koester and the direction of Producer Rocky Duval. Through intentional lighting, staging, dramatic readings, and a focus on shared humanity, the recital seeks to bridge the hundreds -year gap between the audience and the originators of the works.
