MNOP+ Event: Beyond the Years

Deepen your connection to opera throughout the 2025-2026 Season! These special, artist-driven events get you closer to the artists and their process in the intimate setting of the Luminary Arts Center.

About the event:
Karen Slack and Joseph Li present a recital with selections from her GRAMMY®-winning album, Beyond the Years.

Celebrating the legacy of Florence B. Price, internationally renowned soprano Karen Slack seamlessly blends a historically overlooked musical legacy with present-day artistic excellence.
The groundbreaking album features superb recordings of 19 unpublished pieces (including 16 world premiere recordings) by composer Florence B. Price, considered the first African-American woman to have a composition played by a major orchestra.
This event features Price's music alongside songs by Ravel and Schubert.

Beyond the Years is in collaboration with ONEcomposer, an organization dedicated to celebrating composers who have been historically erased. ONEcomposer is inspired by the long-lasting legacy of Florence B. Price.
This enchanting event will take listeners on a journey of rediscovery, reflection, and reimagination.

There will be one intermission.
