About
Based on the 2014 memoir by
Charles M. Blow, with music by Terence Blanchard and libretto by Kasi Lemmons,
the opera Fire Shut Up in My Bones premiered at Opera Theater St. Louis in 2019. The Metropolitan Opera opened its
season with the work in 2021 — the first in its 138 years written by an African
American composer. It became an unparalleled success and was staged again
during the Met’s 2023.24 season. In an effort to continue the message that
opera and classical music are for everyone, Blanchard and The E-Collective have
teamed up with the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet and visual artist
Andrew F. Scott to create a concert production that features excerpts from the
opera performed by the composer, this incredible ensemble, and two guest
singers. The music and Scott’s video projections give the audience a look
inside the mind of Blanchard and the world he created.
