Soprano Corrie Donovan and pianist Evan Mitchell will perform together on Thursday, June 24, at the East Regional Library, 6301 Bridge St., and on Thursday, July 8, at the Meadowbrook Branch Library, 2800 Stark St. Both concerts will be outdoors from 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Donovan engages audiences by exploring a wide range of styles and languages. From premieres with Fort Worth Opera’s Modern Opera Showcases, to participating in Cirque Du Soleil’s vocal workshops in Mexico, to her arrangements of reimagined classical works, Donovan is committed to the full range of vocal expression. She also loves working with children and is in her eighth year with the Cliburn’s education programs, Cliburn in the Classroom and Cliburn Kids. She was also the host for the first Cliburn Junior Competition in 2015 and teaches private voice through Northwest ISD. In her spare time, she is an avid gardener and enjoys hiking and other outdoor activities.
