Come As You Are: Vulnerability in the Concert Space

Come As You Are: Vulnerability in the Concert Space

Presented in collaboration with No Divide KC and the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, the purpose of Come As You Are is to break down barriers of access in the concert space. Concert music has contributed greatly to performing arts though it has sometimes stifled vulnerability, maintained privilege, and created exclusive expectations of formality. Such steep barriers create separation between creators, performers, and audiences. This can make the music and its spaces feel inaccessible to those who may feel they lack the privilege, training, and/or formality to be welcomed into an experience. Come As You Are aims to open up these barriers through reimagined musical experiences and storytelling in the concert space. Stott will perform new works by composers Meta Cohen, Kelvyn Koning, and Leah Reid.

Everlasting Love, Unshakable Faith

UMKC Conservatory Singers Concert. Ms. Stott is a featured alto singer in Herbert Howell’s Requiem.

Everlasting Hope, Unshakeable Faith is a concert exploring the bonds of relationships. The centerpiece of the concert is Dale Trumbore’s I was born– a piece written as a response to a Twitter prompt: “Start typing ‘I was born,’ then use predictive text to write the rest.” The text by Genie Hussain became the focus of this concert: we are born to be great friends and to love one another. This theme is explored through ideas of earthly and heavenly love in times of struggle and times of joy. The concert includes selections from J.S. Bach’s Jesu, meine Freunde Herbert Howell’s Requiem, and additional music by Undine Smith Moore, Moses Hogan, Maurice Durufle, and others. The concert is general admission with a free will offering.
