Diana Solomon-Glover’s artistic talents, showcased on the operatic stage, in concert, oratorio, recital, musical theater, cabaret, and on radio and television across the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Central America, have long served humanitarian and social efforts. She joins composer Carlos Castro as a librettist this June to create a short piece for 96-HourOpera Project, Atlanta Opera’s initiative to develop works by artists from historically underrepresented communities. In October, her opera This Little Light of Mine, about 1960’s Civil Rights activist, Fannie Lou Hamer, with music by Chandler Carter, will premiere at the Santa Fe Opera. Last November, Solomon-Glover received Opera America’s IDEA grant to create an oratorio with composer, Maria Thompson Corley, based on the life of Congressman John Lewis.
Ms. Solomon-Glover has been a featured soloist for The Innocence Project’s Annual Gala and producer of Project People Foundation’s “Celebration of Life” concerts, which raised over $250,000 for programs benefiting South African children orphaned by AIDS. She is co-owner with singer/composer Kristin Norderval of Reduta Deux, a not-for-profit dedicated to producing theatrical works that represent an unusual integration of vision and techniques whose subject matter reflects a broad human consciousness.
