# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Measha Brueggergosman-Lee - Zombie Blizzard
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-03:00)
- **Event Description**: Blending genres, styles and art forms, soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee presents Zombie Blizzard, a collection of concert arias for soprano and jazz trio.  

Zombie Blizzard is an intimate and powerful collaboration between Measha Brueggergosman-Lee, author Margaret Atwood, and composer Aaron Davis. Drawing from the 7 poems of Atwood’s 2020 poetry collection Dearly (Blizzard, Health Class, Princess Clothing, Shadow, Digging up the Scythians, and Dearly), this evocative project blends classical and jazz idioms to explore grief, gender, humour, and survival in a changing world. With Atwood’s voice featured in recorded recitations, the electric live music from a jazz trio, and Measha’s luminous interpretations of Davis’ settings, Zombie Blizzard is a spellbinding meditation on the art of resilience.

Motivated and hungry for new experiences, Ms. Brueggergosman-Lee’s career effortlessly embraces the broadest array of performance platforms and musical styles and genres.

Measha began her career predominantly committed to the art of the song recital and has presented innovative programs at Carnegie Hall, Washington’s Kennedy Center, London’s Wigmore Hall, both the Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Vienna, Madrid’s Teatro Real, as well as at the Schwarzenberg, Edinburgh, Verbier and Bergen Festivals with celebrated collaborative pianists Justus Zeyen, Roger Vignoles, Julius Drake, and Simon Lepper.

On the opera stage, her recent highlights include the roles of Giulietta and Antonia in Les contes d’Hoffmann, Elettra in Idomeneo, Jenny in Weill’s Mahagonny, Emilia Marty in Janáček’s Věc Makropulos, Hannah in Miroslav Srnka’s Make No Noise, and Sister Rose in Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking. On the concert platform last season she returned to Carnegie Hall with the New World Symphony, performed Elettra in Idomeneo at Opera Atelier, Toronto, and gave a recital at the Barbican Center, London. 

Off the stage, Measha is just as active: she recently released her memoir “Something Is Always On Fire” published by Harper Collins, she appears regularly on primetime TV (most recently advocating on behalf of contemporary Canadian literature); and leading Canadian children across the country in song, in celebration of the nationwide campaign for music education.
