Joélle Harvey has built a reputation as one of the finest singers of her generation, performing major roles on the world’s greatest opera stages. Chicago audiences have already been treated to her solo recital for Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago, various appearances with Chicago Symphony Orchestra (Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Carmina Burana, Messiah), and Haydn’s The Creation with Music of the Baroque, described as “a consistent pleasure” by Chicago Classical Review. Harvey joins WFMT to share performances of art song, oratorio, and opera in advance of her return to CSO as soloist in Haydn’s Mass in Time of War. Learn more HERE.
