MM Lecture Recital: Cole Denton, voice
School of Music
This project explores gender and sexual fluidity—often underrepresented in art and culture—through the lens of contemporary opera. Focusing on vocal pedagogical challenges and the transformative potential of inclusive casting and storytelling, it offers critical insights into reimagining roles, vocal types, and narratives. Using case studies, academic discourse, and queer theory in performance, the research examines how opera can transcend rigid binaries to become a platform for authentic expression. Ultimately, the aim is to advocate for an opera that reflects and celebrates gender and sexual diversity, inspiring inclusive artistry and social dialogue on the operatic stage.

“We Insist! 2025”
Center for Performing Arts
Terri Lyne Carrington, “We Insist! 2025” Featuring Christie Dashiell, 7:30 pm Thursday, February 5, 2026, Eisenhower Auditorium,
Four-time Grammy Award-winning drummer Terri Lyne Carrington and a live band will perform songs from the “post-bop” jazz era in a bold reimagining of the seminal album “We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite.” The concert also will feature singer Christie Dashiell, reprising Oscar Brown’s powerful lyrics and vocals by Abbey Lincoln from the pioneering 1961 release.
“We Insist! 2025,” an album of songs co-composed by Carrington and Dashiell and released in June, means to recapture the sonic and sometimes physical urgency of the turbulent 1960s with an expressive, athletic, and assertive vibe. Their tribute calls on Roach’s legacy while expanding its sonic palette with hints of gospel, neo-soul, funk, Afro-Latin, West African traditions, and blues.
