Tonight's program

One sound. Every size of room.

Classical Soul joins operatic technique with the heart of soul and R&B. From a candlelit listening room to a symphony stage.

Candlelight

Piano and voice, or a small ensemble, in a room lit for listening. I pair operatic technique with soul and R&B, so Brian McKnight meets opera and Sam Cooke meets Italian opera.

Band or Orchestra

I front a live band or orchestra, from four musicians up to a full Classical Soul orchestra of 55. Our Soul Foundations production moves through the foundations of soul music with a full band.

Vox Fortura

Vox Fortura is the classical crossover vocal group I created, and we were semi-finalists on Britain's Got Talent. Today we are a trio: Elias Hendricks, Dominique Posey and Bruce Bean. Vox Fortura is orchestrated for full orchestra.

Opera Re-Imagined

A classic opera reimagined as a Classical Soul experience, starting with Verdi’s Rigoletto.
