August 17 Susanna Phillips

Alabama-born soprano Susanna Phillips continues to establish herself as one of today’s most sought-after singing actors and recitalists. She is a recipient of The Metropolitan Opera’s 2010 Beverly Sills Artist Award. Known for her sparkling portrayal of Musetta in La bohème, she has sung at the Met for 12 consecutive seasons in the roles of Musetta, Pamina, Donna Anna, Rosalinde, Antonia/Stella, Micaëla, Donna Elvira, and most recently as Countess Almaviva –a role very close to her heart. Role highlights at the Met include Fiordigili, which The New York Times called a “breakthrough night”, and Clémence, in the Met premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s L’amour de Loin. Ms. Phillips was also a featured artist in the Met’s Summer Recital Series.

Highly in demand by the world’s most prestigious orchestras, Ms. Phillips has appeared with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Santa Fe Symphony, Santa Barbara Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest, Boston Baroque, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and her native Huntsville Symphony, where she celebrated the bicentennial of Alabama performing Strauss’s Vier Letzte Lieder.

September 7 Clarence Spady

Clarence Spady embarked on his musical odyssey at age 5. Born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1961, Spady was encouraged by two guitarists, his father, also named Clarence and his Uncle Fletchey. By the early ‘80s, he joined a touring R&B band, A Touch of Class, and then joined Pennsylvania-based singer Greg Palmer’s band. His acclaimed 1996 debut album for Evidence Records, Nature of the Beast, helped influence his nomination for a 1997 W.C. Handy Award for Best New Blues Artist. Severn Records released his soul-slanted Just Between Us album in 2008, nominated for a 2009 Blues Music Award as Soul Blues Album of the Year. Now, with the wisdom that is only obtained from experience, Spady’s triumphant new release bridges the challenges of a past plagued by addiction with all of the promise of a bright future. H
