Grammy Award-winning American soprano Julia Bullock brings her versatile artistry, probing intellect, and commanding stage presence to her multimedia ensemble program History’s Persistent Voice. The program’s focus is on the influence of pre-Emancipation voices across generations, emphasizing that era’s poetic musical traditions while centering the multifaceted identities of the Black American experience, realized through art. These works are given new life through Bullock’s powerhouse vocal renditions, far-ranging connective research, and a quintet of newly commissioned compositions crafted by an esteemed roster of American women of color that features Jessie Montgomery, Tania León, Allison Loggins-Hull, Pamela Z. and Yale School of Music alumna Carolyn Yarnell ‘89. Additional collaborators for Bullock’s Schwarzman Center performance include fellow Grammy Award-winning conductor Christian Reif, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, and the Tony Award-winning designer and immersive visual artist Hana S. Kim. Produced in partnership with Tony-nominated producer ArKtype / Thomas O. Kriegsmann as part of a multi-year residency and commission series with Bryce Dessner.
