A MOMENT'S OBLIVION was the first of three commissions for Les Délices' Mythology Project. This deeply personal project brought together GRAMMY-winning tenor Nicholas Phan, composer Viet Cuong, librettist Dave Lucas, and Les Délices for concerts and a recording here in Cleveland in 2025. Learn more about it in this beautiful segment for Ideastream News, which was recently rebroadcast on Arizona Public Television! https://youtu.be/gKLXnnTUgx8?si=QvRtNELuFA4AArHJ

This season's installment of The Mythology Project was LA DIOSA, a phenomenal new work by composer Gilda Lyons featuring soprano Estelí Gomez.

The third and FINAL commission will be part of Les Délices' 2026-2027 season!! The details will be announced LIVE and in-person at our June 5th gala benefit Pinstripes & Pearls. We hope to see you there!!

A fantastic review from ClevelandClassical.com of our recent STARSTRUCK performance! Here are some highlights:

"The soprano [Hannah De Priest] revealed a voice of equal power and sweetness during two arias... Her enchanting melismas delighted throughout the motet, her voice as clear as the cloudless sky..."

"Violinists Shelby Yamin and Laura Lutzke, cellist Rebecca Landell, and harpsichordist Mark Edwards created a playful dialogue during the Trio Sonata Op. 5 No. 1 in A Major"

Even our opening act, the fantastic students from Lakewood High School Chamber Orchestra, got a shout-out for their Telemann! They played with "nice tone and plenty of spirit."

It's been a remarkable couple of weeks for Les Délices! Exactly two weeks ago, our musicians converged in sunny Los Angeles for Les Délices' debut at the stunningly beautiful Doheny Mansion. Two days after that, we were in Eugene, Oregon preparing to continue our tour and two days after THAT, we all met again in Cleveland to rehearse for Starstruck! 🤩

With sincere thanks to the presenters and staff at Doheny Mansion and the University of Oregon who made this possible. And of course, to our phenomenal musical artists who performed their hearts out, despite some hard-earned jet lag!
