World-Renowned Vocalist Denyce Graves Coming to Brooks Center

Mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves will perform at Clemson University’s Brooks Center for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, as part of the Utsey Chamber Music Series.

The combination of Ms. Grave’s expressive, rich vocalism; elegant stage presence; and theatrical ability has allowed her to pursue a wide breadth of operatic roles that have taken her to the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls. Her programs include classical repertoire of German lieder, French mélodie and English art song; as well as the popular music from Broadway, crossover and jazz and American spirituals.

She joined the voice faculty of the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore and continues to educate and teach the singers of the next generation.

As part of the Lillian and Robert Utsey Chamber Music Series, the performance is offered free of charge and no ticket is required for entrance. For more information, visit www.clemson.edu/Brooks or call the box office at 864-656-7787 from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
