Lyric Fest – Soul of the City
Urban living in the best and worst of times…
Ethel L. Sayre Hall, Opera Delaware, in Wilmington, DE February 22, 2025 @ 3:00 pm
“I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.” – Michelangelo
“City life is millions of people being lonely together.” – Henry David Thoreau
In this gritty, but surprisingly poetic program, Lyric Fest explores both the energy and underbelly of life in the city. Join us for song, verse, and a reflection on how we experience life in urban community. With Danielle Talamantes, Clara Osowski, Aaron Crouch, Jesse Blumberg, and Laura Ward, piano.
Featuring the world premiere of Lyric Fest’s latest commission, “The Soul of the City – Preludes of T.S. Eliot”, by Nicholas White.
