Having first dazzled Armory audiences with her participation in the Lindemann Young Artist recital in 2019, soprano Leah Hawkins has gone on to perform career defining roles on some of the world’s leading opera stages including the Metropolitan Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Dutch National Opera, and Opéra National de Paris. She was recently awarded the Beverly Sills Award by the Metropolitan Opera. She returns to the Armory recital stage to showcase her global journey with a collection of folk songs and proverbs from various cultural and religious traditions, from American and Yiddish to Jamaican, Swahili, and others. The program titled “C’est ainsi que tu es” (“That is how you are”) features works by composers and arrangers including Jasmine Barnes, Peter Ashbourne, Francis Poulenc, and more.
