“Family Ball” is a mix of genres, including jazz, opera and spoken word. It’s a creative feat that was composed during the pandemic. But more importantly, it’s a love note.
is a celebrated mezzo-soprano who works at the intersection of opera, jazz and theater. She has performed on Broadway and other stages across the country, has won a fellowship from the Ford Foundation and created work for institutions at the center of the art world like the Venice Biennale and Carnegie Hall. Jason is a Grammy Award-winning jazz pianist who teaches at the New England Conservatory of Music and is the musical advisor for jazz at the Kennedy Center.
“Jason and I started working together immediately. We just didn't know that's what it was,” said Alicia. The first week they met, they sat together at the Manhattan School of Music when Jason turned to her and asked her to spell “misspell.” Alicia was taken aback, first because it was charming and second because she wasn’t sure of the answer. His question began the musical couple's journey of pushing one another and of problem-solving.
Beyond that, the performance reaffirms why the two fell in love with one another. “It’s personal in a way that you generally don’t share with an outside audience,” said Jason. The idea that the audience is secondary is likely what will set this show apart. It’s a kind of midway assessment—a living, public document of the work the two have made together and separately. “I think Family Ball is Jason and I really pushing ourselves beyond what we know the other can do,” said Alicia.
