The OperaSOUL Experience is a revolutionary live concert that breaks boundaries by blending the timeless beauty of operatic vocals with soul-pop music, a unique fusion created by opera singer and composer Kisma Jordan. The OperaSOUL Experience’s highly anticipated and successful debut in 2021 was a highlight of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Cube Summer Sessions series, setting the stage for Kisma to announce a well-crafted soundscape and a fresh take on classical music. The OperaSOUL Mixtape features original self-produced works mashed up with arias. A reimagined rendition of Gnarls Barkley’s GRAMMY® winning “Crazy” and an explosive medley of Nina Simone’s and The Beatles’ “Blackbird.”

"The Singing Horn" from classical hornist and folk vocal artist Mary Beth Orr bridges the divide between opposites — folk and classical, raw and refined, life and loss. Some selections will flow like a song cycle, interweaving folk and classical elements, including works by Mahler, Bob Dylan, nostalgic mountain folk melodies like Wayfaring Stranger, as well as her own original songs. The crossover of genres is both unexpected and satisfying. This program harnesses the synergy of horn and voice as vessels for storytelling and comes together as a love letter to the poignant connection of the human experience.
