Evan Mack, guest conductor and world premiere of the choral version of “The Artist”—the musical setting of Madhu Raghavendra.

World-class opera singer Megan Marino (mezzo-soprano) and internationally acclaimed José Rubio (baritone) will perform the songs and cycles of composer and Skidmore faculty member Evan Mack, premiering works that address marriage, drug addiction, healing, grief, war's impact, women's empowerment, and LGBTQ+ rights, including:

“Love Songs for Married People” from the best-selling poems by John Kenney

“Stuff I’ve Been Feeling Lately” by best-selling author Alicia cook

The English-Version premiere of “Letters from the Front Line” by Ukrainian solider-poet Pavlo Vyshebaba

Megan Marino
Be it on stage, screen, under a big tent, standard fare repertoire, forgotten gem, or work in progress, mezzo-soprano Megan Marino is genre-adventurous and driven by a deep-rooted need to communicate, mixed with pure moxie. She’s a true believer that a good song is a good song, regardless of its genre or origin. Established as a stylish musician, agile fioriturist, and a fearless stage animal, she’s been praised by Opera News as “authoritative and carefree,” “a gifted actress with a strong, appealing voice, graced by a rich lower register,” and for singing trouser roles with “swagger” and “vocal audacity.”

José Rubio
José Rubio has garnered attention performing at major and regional venues across the world. Mr. Rubio's recent international operatic engagements have included his operatic debuts in Germany at the Berlin Staatsoper, the famed Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, and in Vienna at the historic Ronacher Theater. He is among the first westerners in the world to sing leading roles in contemporary Chinese Operas which have led to his debuts at the most important opera houses in China, the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, Shanghai Grand Theater, and the Jiangsu Grand Theater in Nanjing.

In celebration of Lunar New Year, the iSING! Suzhou International Young Artist Festival and the Philadelphia Orchestra bring the Tang Dynasty to life with 15 ancient poems set by young international composers, performed by a roster of young singers from around the world. The North American premiere of this landmark program, the culmination of the 2020 iSING! Composition Competition, will be conducted by Lio Kuokman, former Philadelphia Orchestra Assistant Conductor, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Orchestra’s historic 1973 tour of China. The concert is a co-production of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Asian Performing Arts Council and the Suzhou Culture and Arts Centre, which hosted the program’s world premiere in late 2020.
