Summer of Song: An Art Song Recital
On June 21 at 7:00 pm, Abagael Cheng will perform in a summer recital hosted by The Art Song Preservation Society of New York. This concert will feature beautiful art songs from Italy, Germany, and Latin American countries along with memorable melodies from the Great American Songbook tradition all performed by emerging artists.
Savior
Abagael Cheng will perform as Joan of Arc in City Lyric Opera’s production of Savior by Amy Beth Kirsten. In this contemporary chamber opera, we witness the final reckoning of Joan of Arc — a teenage girl condemned for her divine convictions and revolutionary courage.
The Hunger & the Haunt
The Hunger & The Haunt is an original theatrical song recital and community resource fair that explores how folks from the AANHPI diaspora reclaim connection to their heritage and discover new pathways towards ancestral nourishment. This interdisciplinary work combines contemporary dance, spoken poetry, and classical music by exclusively AANHPI composers to tell the fantastical story of a Chinese American girl trying to find her way home as she traverses a mysterious pit of hidden stories.
Sonic Art Recital
Unfinished Business is a classical song recital centered around that which haunts us in this life and beyond. Regret, yearning, and loss all represent incomplete journeys and potential futures that we carry with us, even past their expiration. Combining French, German, and American songs from the last 200 years, this performance evokes the curiosity and pain of unrealized possibilities from the voices of artists past and present. By acknowledging these suppressed dreams, can we step closer to accepting the grief that comes with them?
