MM Lecture Recital: Cole Denton, voice

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. . Ticketed Event?

Art After Hours: Rhythms + Rhymes

RESONANCE: AN EVENING OF SOUND, WORD,  AND IMAGE will be a uniquely intimate and immersive performance in the evocative setting of the Palmer's Ned A. Brokloff Gallery of postwar modern art. Penn State's brand new Contemporary Music Ensemble joins forces with students in Advanced Poetry Writing to create an interdisciplinary exploration of sound, word, and image. The poems of Emily Dickinson, Rumi, and Federico Garcia Lorca, letters from Attica prison, and the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky all intertwine with the beautiful and captivating sounds of composers Toru Takemitsu, George Crumb, Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, Leilehua Lanzilotti and Frederic Rzewski. The student poets will offer their own ekphrastic responses to artwork in the gallery space and to the music itself. Join us for a rare convergence of art forms and student creativity that transforms the gallery into a living performance space. Location Details (Venue Name/Virtual Platform): Palmer Museum of Art.
