DETAIL:
On Sunday June 20 at 4pm, operatic soprano Breanna Sinclairé (www.breannasinclaire.com) will sing an historic live-with-audience concert of classical music at San Francisco’s Old First Concerts. It will be the first inside, live-with-audience classical concert in San Francisco since California’s reopening on June 15.
Sinclairé was featured on this year’s Memorial Day broadcast for W. Kamau Bell’s “United Shades of America” on CNN performing “The Star Spangled Banner.“ In 2015, Sinclairé became the first transgender singer to perform the National Anthem at a major league sporting event when she did so for the Oakland A’s. Since then, the artist’s career has taken off including coverage in the New York Times, NPR, and NowThis TV among others. Sinclairé has been heard in numerous performances and at major venues such as Disney Hall in Los Angeles and Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. Later this year, Sinclairé will make her operatic debut in the world premiere production “BOUND” being filmed for Toronto’s Against the Grain Theatre.
