Two-time Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke is a vocal veteran, making frequent appearances on the world’s greatest stages and festivals and with over 80 symphony orchestras worldwide. She is also a “luminous standout” (The New York Times) on the recital stage, with programs of early and modern repertoire that showcase her artistic versatility and dramatic magnetism. She comes to the Board of Officers Room for a new program titled “Of Thee I Sing,” including an artfully curated set of works by Copland, Barber, Ives, Weill, Jake Heggie, Sondheim, and more, as well as the New York premiere of an Armory-commissioned work by American composer Jasmine Barnes.

“Anytime you add Cooke into the mix, there’s a whole new level of magic involved.”
