On Wednesday, April 26 at 8:00pm, Harvard graduate Davóne Tines will perform at Bard College’s Pickman Hall as part of the Celebrity Series of Boston.
Bass-baritone Davóne Tines, Musical America’s 2022 Vocalist of the Year, brings an ambitious and brilliantly curated program entitled “Recital No. 1: MASS.” Tines invites listeners to recontextualize Bach arias, Caroline Shaw’s Mass, and religious ritual. Woven into this are arrangements of spirituals by Tyshawn Sorey, Moses Hogan, and Margaret Bonds, as well as Julius Eastman’s powerful a cappella work, Prelude to the Holy Presence of Joan d ’Arc.
