Urban Mash-Up!

Hip Hopera, Overture

Launching into a seemingly unlikely fusion of Hip-Hop and Opera, we in the audience were taken by storm!

Pictured here are turntablist DJ lil Jaz and Soprano Teiya Kasahara with Liz Upchurch at the keyboard, as they launch into Deconstructon Reconstruction: A Hiphopera for DJ’s and Operatic Voices at the Royal Conservatory of Music earlier today. The other musicians making up this innovative and collaborative quintet were Justin Welsh, baritone, along with the internationally acclaimed DJ T.R.A.C.K.S.
