My Brightest Diamond

Genre: Chamber Folk, Indie Rock, Baroque Pop

Don’t miss the baroque pop magic of My Brightest Diamond at A2SF! Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Shara Nova brings her chamber folk project to our stage for the first time this year. With six My Brightest Diamond albums under her belt, she has carved her own unique path through pop, experimental and classical. An original member of the Tony Award-winning Broadway show Illinoise (based on the 2005 Sufjan Stevens album), she has also composed works for numerous choirs, including the Detroit Women’s Chorus and the Detroit Opera’s educational touring company. She currently has a project titled Half-Winged in collaboration with artist Matthew Ritchie at Wasserman Projects in Detroit, a choral installation in response to Milton’s Paradise Lost. The most recent My Brightest Diamond album, entitled Fight the Real Terror, is a showcase for her powerful vocals and genre-bending compositions. Catch her intimate yet expansive sound live at Top of the Park!
