Renée Fleming: Voice of NatureFriday, September 26, 7:30 PM
Tickets: Tickets: $140—$210
In addition to Voice of Nature, Renée Fleming presents a panel discussion on the connections between music and neuroscience on September 25.
Renée Fleming brings her contemplative approach to art to the Lensic stage with Voice of Nature: the Anthropocene, a recital based on her 2023 Grammy-winning album. As Fleming came to grips with the climate crisis, she turned to a great legacy of song literature—Romantic-era poets and composers who reveled in imagery of nature, finding reflections of human experience in the environment. In collaboration with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Fleming juxtaposed these classics with the voices of living composers, addressing our current, troubled relationship with the natural world.
The recital includes an original film created by the National Geographic Society to reflect the musical selections.
Renée Fleming is one of the most highly acclaimed singers of our time, performing on the stages of the world’s great opera houses and concert halls. A 2023 Kennedy Center Honoree, winner of five Grammy® awards and the US National Medal of Arts, she has sung for momentous occasions from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Diamond Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. A groundbreaking distinction came in 2008 when she became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to solo headline an opening night gala. In 2023, the World Health Organization appointed her as a Goodwill Ambassador for Arts and Health, and this year, she became an inaugural member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Arts and Culture Council.
