Devised by Davóne Tines, Recital No. 1: MASS is a 75-minute performance for bass-baritone and pianist presented without interval.
Recital No. 1: MASS is a transformation of the Catholic Mass into a container for holding, comparing, and contrasting music of faith from the Western European, African American and 21st Century traditions. The programme, including J.S. Bach, Caroline Shaw, Julius Eastman, Margaret Bonds and Moses Hogan, demonstrates that diverse cultures and aesthetics have something equally critical to say about our collective human journey through dealing with any personal life problem.
Davóne Tines, heralded as an artist “changing what it means to be a classical singer” (The New Yorker) and “[one] of the most powerful voices of our time” (Los Angeles Times), is a pathbreaking artist whose work encompasses a diverse repertoire, ranging from early music to new commissions by leading composers, while exploring the social issues of today. A creator, curator, and performer at the intersection of many histories, cultures, and aesthetics, he is engaged in work that blends opera, art song, spirituals, contemporary classical, gospel, and protest songs as a means to tell a deeply personal story of perseverance connecting to all of humanity.
