Legacies

Artisic Voices presents unique- luxury, meaningful, deep immersive concert with singers and ballet. LEGACIESAn Immersive Concert Experience Exploring Life, Love, Art, and the Things We Leave Behind What makes a life meaningful? Is it what we accomplish, what we create, or the love we share and the lives we touch? LEGACIES is an immersive concert experience that brings together the extraordinary power of classical music, poetry, and ballet to explore the universal themes of life, love, art, and mortality. Featuring three exceptional vocalists — tenor Gerard Ortega, soprano Dr. Megan Barrera, and mezzo-soprano Stephanie Newman — alongside pianist Matias Cuevas and dancers David Harris and Kirsten Velasco, this interdisciplinary performance brings three celebrated art song cycles to life through music and movement. Three masterpieces. Three perspectives. One universal question: What do we leave behind? Dear Theo — The Legacy of Art Ben Moore | Gerard Ortega, Tenor Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's intimate letters to his brother Theo, this deeply moving song cycle explores the sacrifices, struggles, and enduring power of artistic creation. Through music and dance, experience the emotional world of an artist whose work would transform the world long after his death. Four Last Songs & Morgen! — The Legacy of Life Richard Strauss | Dr. Megan Barrera, Soprano From the beauty of nature to the acceptance of mortality, Strauss's exquisite music invites us to reflect on the passage of time, the fragility of existence, and the enduring promise of love and reunion. Frauenliebe und Leben — The Legacy of Love Robert Schumann | Stephanie Newman, Mezzo-Soprano A woman's journey through love, marriage, motherhood, and devastating loss unfolds through Schumann's deeply expressive music, revealing the profound ways our relationships shape us and continue to live within us. Through the seamless interplay of voice, piano, poetry, and expressive ballet, LEGACIES invites audiences into an intimate artistic journey that transcends the boundaries of a traditional concert. Our art. Our love. Our children. Our memories. The lives we change. Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, movement, and reflection — and discover what it truly means to leave something behind.
