Experience the Power of American Art and Music with Elizabeth Sutphen
The Everson Museum of Art is delighted to host a special performance by Syracuse-native Elizabeth Sutphen, a celebrated coloratura soprano. Known for her “sparkling voice” (The New York Times) and her ability to “soar deftly through stratospheric trills and arpeggios” (Financial Times), Sutphen will take the stage at the Hosmer Auditorium for an unforgettable evening of operatic storytelling.
In conjunction with the Making American Artists: Stories from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, 1776–1976 exhibition, Sutphen will weave American stories through her breathtaking performance. This evening promises a celebration of both the visual and musical arts, bringing together the rich heritage of American culture.
Joining Elizabeth for this performance is pianist Artyom Pak, praised for his “high level of intelligence and brilliant technique.” Mr. Pak has performed worldwide as both a soloist and collaborative pianist, with engagements at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and Tonhalle Zürich. His exceptional talent will complement Elizabeth’s stunning voice, making for a truly remarkable evening.
