Upcoming events.
NEO Vocal Fellowship
Out of the (Voice) Box, presented on July 25, 2026, is a chamber voice concert featuring performances by N.E.O. Voice Festival Scholars and Fellows: established artists who are featured throughout the Festival; as well as faculty and special guests. Past concerts have included wide-ranging sets and performances, from classical arias to folk songs, barbershop quartets to voice & electronics sets, experimental voice projects to jazz standards, and much more. Leah will sing Return from My Body’s Black and Blue by Niyayesh Bagheri.
N.E.O.’s Exploratorio is an annual concert that premieres a new major work written and performed by N.E.O. composers and singers. Leah will be a featured soloist and section leader in her role as a vocal fellow in this August 1st, 2026, concert.
N.E.O.’s eighth Exploratorio will focus on the expansiveness of life transitions from physical death to the shock of renewal to the overturning of a philosophy. Every death creates room for new life, just as every life thrives on death. The end of a relationship with a life partner, business partner, or friend, moving to a new place, or leaving behind a beloved hobby all embody the transitional energy that forges our identities. In the expansiveness of time, none are memorable. The very idea of "At The End Of All Things" speaks to humanity's limited perspective. Yet, in those limits lives our passions and feelings of purpose.
Dualis+Convoco
DUALIS/CONVOCO Celestial Convergence Tour
DUALIS is a professional chamber choir that is disrupting the world of choral music with genre-defying programming and versatile artistry. Based out of Baltimore, DUALIS collaborates with local artists to perform music from within and outside of the choral canon, including the styles of musical theater, electronic dance music, and heavy metal.
Lauded for “exquisite” performances that are “good for the soul,” Philadelphia-based choral collective Convoco is a project-based, fully democratic ensemble composed of musicians active in Philadelphia, New York, Washington D.C., and beyond. Founded in 2020 as a virtual choir project, Convoco has since evolved into a vibrant community united by a passion for small ensemble singing, education, community engagement, and inclusive artistic collaboration. Highlights include residencies at Drew University and the Avaloch Farm Music Institute, world premieres of new works, several regional tours, and recording projects spanning early through contemporary choral music.

Rowe and performed by the Baltimore Basilica Schola Cantorum and Chamber Orchestra, this program brings together two of Mozart’s most powerful works in the awe-inspiring setting of America’s First Cathedral.

Basso Celestia: Ah, Ça Ira!
Leah appears as a soloist and ensemble member for “Ah, Ça Ira!”
Our program “Ah, Ça Ira” (“It’ll be alright!”) is structured around the pursuit of liberty in a period marked by resistance, rebellion, and revolution. Three revolutions were key to shaping the late eighteenth century: the Jacobite rising (1745-1746), the American Revolution (1775-1783), and the French Revolution (1789-1799). Featuring music from France, Scotland, and early America, this program is a testament to the many roles that music played in this period of change, from direct calls to action, to folk music preserving a sense of home, to telling tales carried back across the sea.
Presented in Wilmington’s Old Town Hall by Market Street Music
