Jongleur Opera Company was formed by soprano Jeri Brown in 2014 to give artists performing opportunities and training. Similar companies include: Opera Ebony, Harlem Opera Theater and Opera Noire of New York. Brown has created the company with the goal of bringing opera to people of all levels of society. By exploiting multiple talents, using entrepreneurship and thinking outside the box, these artists keep moving toward success. “With so much talent, I just want to help them as those have helped me…my way of giving back.” “This season premiere marks an unprecedented opportunity to combine talent and culture with a lovely introduction of the company.”

Featured performers: Sopranos Kamilya Agoshkoff (Kazakh traditional folklore, Italian classics), Gwyn Beaver (Negro Spirituals, Italian classics) with apprentice performances by: baritone Enzo Sabbagha, sopranos Rayandra Hudson, and Kimberely Ross. The night features great accompaniments including: Victoria  Mnatsakanova, Giancarlo Scalia, Chris Tauchner, Robin Chemtov, Seragos Agoshkoff, and  Claude Lavergne.

The height of the evening will include:
Soprano Jeri  Brown Trio featuring Fullbright Scholar Barron Tymas with Las Vegas pianist, Woody Woods (jazz opera medley).
