Shirley Verrett: The Voice and the Fire in the Belly is a powerful one-woman show that highlights the extraordinary life of opera legend Shirley Verrett.

From a young girl singing in a Seventh-day Adventist church in Louisiana to breaking racial and artistic barriers on some of the world’s grandest stages, Verrett’s story unfolds through a captivating blend of song, spoken word, and raw emotion. Told entirely from Verrett’s perspective, the performance follows her journey through key moments in American history, including the civil rights era, the subtle prejudices within classical music, and her personal battles to find her place as a Black woman in opera.

As she transitions from mezzo-soprano to soprano roles, she also shifts between the various identities she embodied: diva, mother, wife, and maverick. Featuring iconic arias from Verrett’s repertoire—such as selections from Carmen, Tosca, Aida, Macbeth, and Gluck—the show paints a vivid portrait of artistic resilience, sacrifice, and a triumphant legacy. Audiences will learn about her highs and heartbreaks, from her Metropolitan debut and experiences with racism in Europe and America to her Broadway success in Carousel and her well-known rivalry with Grace Bumbry, as well as her later years as a mentor and educator.

This show is a celebration of a woman who delivered unbelievable, awe-inspiring performances and, more importantly, who captivated us with her mind, heart, and “Fire in the Belly.”

From Mozart’s luminous elegance to Dvořák’s folk-inspired vitality, the 2nd installment of Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival’s residency at Kerrytown Concert House this season traces a rich spectrum of musical expression. Clarinetist David Shifrin joins the Candide Quartet for Mozart’s beloved Clarinet Quintet in A major, a cornerstone of the chamber repertoire whose graceful lyricism and warmth highlight the instrument’s singing voice. Shifrin then takes center stage in Stravinsky’s Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet, a strikingly modern work that explores the clarinet’s color, character, and virtuosity. Closing the evening, Trio Eris performs Dvořák’s exuberant “Dumky” Piano Trio, a sequence of contrasting movements that move freely between introspection and spirited dance.

Together, these works create an intimate and expressive program showcasing lyrical clarinet lines, striking solo moments, and deeply emotional chamber textures in KCH’s salon setting.
