You have a unique opportunity to hear AWP alumnus Issachah Savage in a live, socially-distanced performance on Saturday, August 15 in Alexandria. Hosted by Classical Movements in the garden of their offices on Princess Street, the ambitious program will feature excerpts from Die Walküre and Otello and a diverse selection of Italian, German, and American art songs. Issachah will be accompanied by pianist Joy Schreier.
Issachah is well known to our members, particularly since his live interview on our May 14 webinar. He has received critical acclaim for his performances throughout Europe and North America, which include not only operas by Wagner and Verdi, but operas and choral works by composers such as Richard Strauss, Beethoven, Mahler, Gershwin, and Kurt Weill. Among other accolades, he received the Seattle Opera’s International Wagner Award in 2014.

An industry leader for over a quarter-century, Classical Movements organizes more than 60 tours every year, and produces some 200 concerts every season, including two international choral festivals. This summer, they are presenting “Sounds of Hope and Harmony,” a series of 18 one-hour concerts with limited tickets for socially-distanced audiences.
