Jubilee Artists Series

British-born Canadian mezzo soprano Susan Platts brings a uniquely rich and wide ranging voice to concert and recital repertoire for alto and mezzo-soprano, particularly well-regarded for her performances of Gustav Mahler’s works. She is a Fellow of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, which gave her the opportunity to work closely with Jessye Norman. Ms. Platts’ opera highlights include “Die Walküre” with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte” at the Royal Opera House, John Adams’ “Nixon in China” with the BBC Symphony, as well as Britten’s “Albert Herring” (Pacific Opera, Vancouver Opera), Erda in Wagner’s “Das Rheingold” (Pacific Opera), and Bernstein’s “A Quiet Place” (Montreal Symphony Orchestra).

“Through the invisible hands of music, the soul is touched and healed,” Josephine “Jo” Phelps Fabian said. In her life, Fabian was a dedicated arts patron, donor, board member, and advocate who loved classical music and opera. She frequently attended concerts at Townsend School of Music. Through The Fabian Center for Musical Excellence, the Jubilee Artists Series features leading artists performing concerts that are low cost to the general public, making the best of music available to all. All shows at Fickling Hall. Single tickets $7, Student ID Free. Season subscription available for $25.
