Muses Opera Cabaret: Broken Standards

TRAHC is proud to present The Muses Project Opera Cabaret: Broken Standards, on Saturday, September 9, 7 pm at The Regional Arts Center. With the Muses' signature style of excellence and artistry, this concert uniquely blends early Western European music paired with early 20th-century American Jazz Standards.

“Broken Standards” is presented by The Muses Classical Troupe lead by internationally touring and resident professional vocalists, dancers, and instrumentalists, sharing arrangements of Early Opera, Art Song, Oratorio, and Sacred selections by Handel, Purcell, and Bach alongside American Big Band and Jazz Standards by Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Kurt Weill. Music from these distinct time periods represents the origin of Opera and the cradle of Jazz, reflecting a belief in vocal music as a potent tool to evoke emotion from its listeners, and transport singer and audience alike to a higher level of awareness, transcendence, and absorption in the experience.

All Muses programs reinforce the organization’s dedication to excellence and inspiration by using the arts to educate, enlighten and be accessible to the whole community, by presenting past “classics” in new exceptional, evocative, and entertaining ways. This event invites music lovers to come and be swept away by the virtuosity of baroque elegance and beauty and the genius and joy of early jazz.
