Lacy Rose is a New York based classically trained vocalist, composer and poet. She collaborates regularly with choreographer Coco Karol and composers Sxip Shirey, Alaina Ferris, and John K. Stone. She has opened for and performed with such eclectic artists as Cocorosie, Baby Dee, Dave Malloy, Amanda Palmer, and Osso String Quartet. In August, she made her Mostly Mozart Festival debut in the Schubertiade Remix at Lincoln Center alongside members of the International Contemporary Ensemble. As a composer of neoclassical art songs, Lacy regales her audience with tales of magic, myth, tragedy and love. Maria, her six-part song cycle, explores the inner life and personhood of Gustav Klimt’s muses, Maria “Mizzi” Zimmermann and Maria “Ria” Munk. Rose composed the score for a theatrical adaptation of Dylan Thomas’ screenplay, The Doctor and The Devils, and is currently adapting Clarice Lispector’s The Passion According to G.H. into an opera with director Dara Malina.
New York City based artist and musician Cassandra Jenkins’ vision and scope of influences are broad, idiosyncratic and ever-changing. Her first full-length album, Play Till You Win, released in 2017, followed by last year’s Live in Foxen Canyon, showcase the clarity and smoldering sense of longing conveyed by her “smoky vocals” (NPR) and her ability to “leave an impression with elegantly celestial climaxes and emerald green-glowing guitar work,” (Pitchfork) or as Ben Seretan writes, “one shimmering voice, syrupy sweet as a televangelist on their knees, drawing a dotted line around a calamity you already feel to be happening.”
