California-raised and New York-based Tomashi Jackson has created a style of art all her own, combining multiple genres — painting, printmaking, photography and textile art — to make pieces that unfold with surprising depth and visual excitement. She is known as a historian, researching moments and movements from the collective African-American narrative, but presenting them through a rich and colorful filtering that speaks to their resonance now.
Santa Fe Opera is skipping its usual big, world premiere moment this summer, but offering up something close: a fresh production of “Orfeo,” with a new orchestration by one of the world’s top contemporary composers, Nico Muhly. It will be interesting to see this familiar score updated, especially in this venture directed by MacArthur Prize winner Yuval Sharon and starring in-demand tenor Rolando Villazón.
The classical world’s personality of the moment is no doubt Yunchan Lim, who in 2022 — at the age of 18 — became the youngest-ever winner of the legendary Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. On this night, he will perform Rachmaninoff’s difficult Piano Concerto No. 3, while local fave Marin Alsop conducts from the podium. It’s a swell combo and just the kind of program that makes Vail a special place. Info: 877-812-5700 or bravovail.org.
