“Vocally and dramatically impressive”
—The Washington Post
“Leah Hawkins impressed mightily with her plush tome and impeccable phrasing”
—The Baltimore Sun
Having first dazzled Armory audiences with her participation in the Lindemann Young Artist recital in 2019, soprano Leah Hawkins has gone on to perform career-defining roles on some of the world’s leading opera stages including the Metropolitan Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Dutch National Opera, and Opéra National de Paris. She returns to the Armory recital stage to showcase her global journey with a collection of folk songs and proverbs from various cultural and religious traditions, from American and Yiddish to Jamaican, Swahili, and others. The program features works by composers and arrangers including Jasmine Barnes, Jorell Williams, Lili Boulanger, Francis Poulenc, and Peter Ashbourne.
