The world premiere of Terence Blanchard’s newly orchestrated Opera Suite in Concert: the music from Fire Shut Up in My Bones and Champion: A collaboration with Los Angeles Opera, The Soraya commissioned a world premiere of selections from both operas performed by Blanchard leading his own E-Collective and Turtle Island Quartet with baritone Justin Austin and soprano Adrienne Danrich. Fire Shut up in My Bones took the world by storm and Blanchard made history in 2021 as the first Black composer to premiere an original opera at the Metropolitan Opera. He did so again in 2023 with another groundbreaking hit, Champion. With this newly reconstructed score, Blanchard will make history once again as this Opera Suite in Concert marks the world premiere.
