We are excited to debut “Tenor Talks” in our 2024 season

Ever wonder how Miles books jobs?  What Juilliard was like?  Where he lives?  If he speaks multiple languages?  How he memorizes operas?  What about singing high notes?  Preparing for photo shoots?  How does he combat stage fright?

No question is too ridiculous or off limits in these unique seminars with Emberlight’s star tenor!  This interactive and casual platform welcomes audience questions, creating a vibrant exchange that celebrates music.

Led by our Artistic Director and internationally acclaimed tenor, Miles Mykkanen, this engaging series of three master classes is designed to elevate your musical understanding and appreciation.  Alongside anecdotes from his recent debuts at the Royal Opera House and San Francisco Opera, Miles will guide audiences through the musical scores featured in our chamber music concerts.  These free classes promise to offer invaluable context and deeper insights into the performances you will hear a few weeks later.

WHAT IS ‘ALL ABOUT ARTISTRY’ ABOUT?

After hours spent in the practice room, at the end of the day an opera singer’s job is to take all the small details they’ve worked on for months, drop every inhibition, walk on stage, and deliver a performance that transcends every day life.  In the final class of our Tenor Talks series, Miles puts all the pieces together to teach us how to leave our fears off stage and be our authentic selves on stage.

Musical studies for All About Artistry include:

  • “On Wenlock Edge” by Ralph Vaughan Williams
  • Selections from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff
