World-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee will present “Rising,” a concert under the auspices of Knoxville Opera and the National Association of Teachers of Singing, on Saturday evening, June 29, at the Tennessee Theatre. He will be accompanied by pianist Kevin J. Miller. The performance begins at 8:00 PM.
“These past years have been a trial, both for humanity as a whole, and the African-American population here in the United States. But through all these many challenges we have faced, I have also seen moments of strength, inspiration, hope, and great beauty. It is those themes of uplift, elevation, and rebirth that we have tried to focus on with this new project Rising, taking poems from the giants of the Harlem Renaissance, and working with some of today’s most talented African-American composers, to create something that speaks not just to our struggles, but to our triumphs.”
