Description
Soprano Patrice Michaels, 'a formidable interpretative talent' (The New Yorker), and collaborative pianist extraordinaire Kuang-Hao Huang offer Notorious RBG in Song, an album of world-premiere recordings saluting the life and work of legal pioneer Ruth Bader Ginsburg in celebration of her completion of 25 years on the United States Supreme Court. Ginsburg, a longtime crusader for equal rights, has become a pop culture icon known as 'Notorious RBG' (a wry nod to the late rap artist, The Notorious B.I.G.). Michaels, a vocalist of 'spectacular and diverse gifts' (Journal of Singing) is also a gifted composer. Her nine-song cycle, THE LONG VIEW, illuminates key aspects of Justice Ginsburg’s personal and professional life through letters, remembrances, conversations, and even Court opinions. The album concludes with songs by American composer Stacy Garrop, winner of many prestigious awards and commissions; JUNO Award-winning Canadian composer Vivian Fung; prolific art-song composer Lori Laitman; and an aria from Derrick Wang’s new comic opera, Scalia/Ginsburg.
