About This Performance

Following last season’s astounding collaboration with the Dover Quartet, “charismatic, full-voiced” (New York Times) bass-baritone Davóne Tines returns to the Perelman Theater stage for his PCMS recital debut. In Recital #1: MASS, Tines “queers” the mass in the broad sense that he bends it to his own understanding, “giving Black people and queer people and anyone who has felt excluded by religion or classical music or America their say” (Classical Voice).
