Celebrity Series | Fleur Barron, mezzo soprano, and Kunal Lahiry, piano | The Power and the Glory

Tuesday • March 18, 2025   |   7:30 pm

Mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron and pianist Kunal Lahiry present a personal, deeply resonant program that delves into intricate themes of identity and colonialism and confronts the legacies of Empire. Both of dual Asian and Western heritage, Barron and Lahiry shed light on the complex narratives of dominant powers, the silenced voices of the oppressed, and the emergence of hybrid art forms and identities from these entangled cultures.

Their program, The Power and the Glory, weaves together works from Latin America, Europe, and Asia, bringing a new voice to traditional and historical works, and showcasing contemporary creations. Together, Barron and Lahiry create meaningful moments of profound beauty, making space for empathy and understanding.
