Singer Alexandra Rodrick, pianist Yumi Hashimoto and special guest Randall Bills present an intimate concert exploring the archetypal VAMP and the archetypically(?) VAMPED in an event that is both super chill, but also super chilling. Join us for an *eclectic* selection of operatic works by the usual suspects (Verdi, Saint-Saëns, etc.), cabaret faves (Kurt Weill! Mischa Spoliansky!) and perhaps the spookiest of them all — popular artists like OLIVIA RODRIGO.
​
VAMP is part of the POP Artist Recital Series (PARS) 26/27 Season.
