A regular at the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, and Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Brownlee’s versatile “instrument of great beauty and expression” (NPR Music) elicits standing ovations whether he’s performing Rossini or Donizetti, or works from his song-cycle on African American identity.

Accompanied by pianist Shelby Rhoades, Brownlee has prepared a varied program of famous art song, arias, and spirituals. Audiences will enjoy classic Italian songs along with selections by Schubert, Strauss, and Fauré.
