CONCERT: In This Short Life
After years of collaboration on stages and in studios, mezzo-soprano Devony Smith and pianist Danny Zelibor are proud to release their first joint album: In This Short Life.
Released June 13, 2025 on Lexicon Classics, the album features a vibrant all-American program brought to life with cellist Michael Nicolas (International Contemporary Ensemble). It’s a bold and emotionally layered celebration of today’s most resonant voices in contemporary art song — composers who speak directly to our time.
Featuring two newly commissioned artsongs by Jake Landau: "Sew My True Love (Jubilee)" and the single "The Sake Of You"
