The New York Philharmonic has named bass-baritone Eric Owens The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence for the 2015–16 season. In addition to appearing as soloist throughout the season, Mr. Owens will expand the role of the Philharmonic’s Artist-in-Residence by curating programs and participating in educational activities.

Artist-in-Residence Eric Owens will be joined by Janai Brugger, Laquita Mitchell, Marietta Simpson, and Russell Thomas for In Their Footsteps: Great African American Singers and Their Legacy on October 14 and 15, 2015. The program will include works linked to groundbreaking vocalists William Warfield, Betty Allen, George Shirley, and Marian Anderson, focusing on the history these artists had with the Philharmonic and their influence on the generations of African American vocalists that followed.
