The “perfect 21st century diva” (New York Times) is a proud Kansan, a fierce arts advocate, a charismatic social media standout (follow her @JoyceDiDonato), and one of the most exciting and sought-after stars in opera, bringing fire and intelligence to Baroque, bel canto, and contemporary heroines. For her much-anticipated Boston recital debut, she and her four-piece ensemble with perform a broad range of improvisation-forward musical styles – ranging from Italian old-style art songs to jazz – in a joyful program that will draw unexpected and serendipitous connections across centuries and genres.
