Charles W. Bolen Faculty Recital: Michelle Vought, voice
Tuesday, October 3, 2023 , 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm CDT
Professor Michelle Vought (soprano) and special guest Chicago drag queen Nicholas Ian (Professor Vought’s son) promise to be very entertaining and full of surprises. The performance will include various genres from art song to opera to musical theatre and will feature Rex Moore (harp) and Illinois State University alum Matthew Merz (piano). Vought will commence with French art songs followed by Ian who will join her on Monteverdi and Webber duets after performing solo himself. At intermission they will flip genders, Vought to tux and Ian to gown, with the soprano singing some of her favorite repertoire traditionally done by males while Ian follows suit in drag. Recital selections include No One Is Alone, Berlin’s Sisters, and Tesori’s The Girl in 14G.
