TLI Presents: Nicholas Phan — Fellow Citizens

Tenor and frequent TLI collaborator Nicholas Phan’s signature recital program Fellow Citizens delves into stories of immigration and migration through compositional voices ranging from Schubert and Dvořák to Errollyn Wallen and Mohammed Fairouz. Opening with “God Bless America,” Irving Berlin’s musical prayer of thanksgiving to the nation that gave him refuge as a child fleeing pogroms in Russia, Fellow Citizens reflects on two competing narratives about U.S. history: one that asserts that America is for Americans and another that celebrates the country as a nation of immigrants.

This performance will be followed by a Meet the Makers conversation with the performers.
