Hello Morgan Fine Arts Community,
If you have been following the Morgan choir over the years, you no doubt remember Morgan alumnus Issachah Savage! Issachah has performed in many of the most prestigious opera houses in the country including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Houston Grand and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
On Saturday, August 15, 2020, Classical Movements will present Issachah Savage in concert! Please see materials regarding Issachah's concert and the series below and attached. He is a very powerful yet expressive performer. I invite you to attend this outdoor concert in Alexandria, VA. There will be two performances at 6PM and 7:30 PM. Seats will be spaced with proper social distancing.
If you have the time, I heartily recommend that you attend one of these concerts. I plan on attending to support one of Morgan’s best!

Following the success of its inaugural evening of three outdoor chamber music concerts on Saturday, June 20th [Read Washington Post review: “Going to my first concert…”], Classical Movements is delighted to announce a new series of 18 intimate, socially-distanced outdoor concerts and recitals, at the Secret Garden of the Rectory on Princess Street, Classical Movements’ home in Old Town Alexandria – presented in solidarity with musicians who are eager to perform concerts for live audiences once again. Beginning Saturday, July 25, 2020, Classical Movements will present a diverse range of ensembles and genres, including rising stars of opera and jazz, the first concert of live choral music, as well as dazzling programs by instrumental chamber ensembles of musicians who are members of the National Symphony Orchestra.
Morgan State University students, alumni and community will relish an exceptional concert of songs and arias on August 15 by MSU alumnus Issachah Savage, who has performed to great critical acclaim at the Metropolitan Opera and storied houses around the world. Joined by pianist Joy Schreier for “An Evening of Grand Opera, Italian and American Art Songs”, he presents an ambitious program featuring operatic excerpts from Die Walküre and Otello and a diverse selection of Italian, German and American art songs, including moving works by Margaret Bonds selected to reflect the ongoing quest for social justice.
