"We are excited to welcome path breaking American artist Davóne Tines to Bold Tendencies. “Davóne Tines Is Changing What It Means to Be a Classical Singer” (New Yorker).
This powerful recital takes its starting point from religious impetuses that have found expression in various musical traditions across centuries: a plea for mercy, a call to praise, a desire for salvation. Tines brings together music by Caroline Shaw with spirituals, Bach arias and pieces by 20th-century Black composers in an hour long monologue. This ‘Mass’ concludes with a song of thanks - with hope: “Where there is darkness, we’ll bring light.”
