Camille Zamora — Desde el Alma | From the Soul

About this event

Soprano Camille Zamora — hailed by the New York Times for her “dramatic and nuanced” interpretations and co-founder of the artists’ peace corps non-profit Sing for Hope — brings Desde el Alma | From the Soul to Commons. Conceived by Zamora and featuring Latin Grammy-winning pianist Pablo Estigarribia and Grammy-winning bandoneón virtuoso Héctor Del Curto, the program explores tango, bolero, and canción as metaphors for loss, memory, and renewal — timed intentionally to the season’s turn toward darker days and Día de los Muertos. It is music designed to hold grief and joy in the same breath. Zamora is co-founder of Sing for Hope, the “artists’ peace corps” non-profit. Her albums Si la noche se hace oscura: Four Centuries of Spanish Song and Le dernier sorcier debuted on Billboard’s Top Ten Classical Chart. She has been hailed by NBC Latino and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as a leading interpreter of Spanish song, and is known for “luminous, transcendently lyrical performances” (Opera News) that “combine gentility and emotional fire” (The Houston Chronicle). Featured collaborators: Pablo Estigarribia (Latin Grammy-winning pianist and composer); Héctor Del Curto (Grammy-winning bandoneón virtuoso, former collaborator with Astor Piazzolla and Plácido Domingo, praised by the New York Times as a “splendid player”).
