Join us as we kick off our new season with the incomparable voice of nationally recognized soprano Corey Lovelace. She is accompanied by our very own Sophia Pavlenko. This evening highlights art songs written through the 19th and 20th centuries by the German masters. Throughout the Romantic Era, German songs (lieder) were considered the pinnacle of refined artist achievement in the world. Featured on this concert are some of the finest examples ever composed by Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, and Strauss.

The world is watching! Come make history with the Academy at the NC premiere of TMA's first opera - performed concert style with orchestra. Composed by Sophia Pavlenko, our Composer in Residence, this almost unbelievable work has all the elements of grand opera that you expect. Set in the ancient world at the transition from wizards and magic to the time of Christians and men, it features Evil Vikings against Good Vikings, swords and forges, forbidden love, miracles, fight scenes - and of course a hero that has to die! Opera just doesn't get any better - and it's all born here at the Academy. Our spectacular cast features all the original singers from the world premiere. Years from now you'll still say, "I was there!"

Saturday, April 26, 7:00 pm, Trinity United Methodist Church

Join us for a fun-filled finale to this year's series with a special concert featuring one of North Carolina's top ranked professional jazz ensembles. This organization specializes in the traditional "big band" styles of the orchestras of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. The band is under the very capable baton of Tim Hedrick. Take a step back into the glorious Swing Era and immerse yourself in a beautiful world of Jazz just made for a spring evening.
