Beyond What I See is an affirming and luminous treble choir work that sets Jarrod Lee’s poem “I Choose Hope” with clarity, warmth, and emotional resonance. Premiered at the 2025 National ACDA Conference in Dallas, TX, this piece speaks directly to young singers navigating identity, resilience, and self-belief. With accessible yet expressive writing, Beyond What I See empowers singers to embody hope—not as an abstract idea, but as something lived, claimed, and sung. - Graphite#boykin #JarrodLee #Storyteller #BeyondWhatISee #ichoosehope by @jarrodleeopera

Two masterclasses featuring Oshun and Kandake….singing arias, reading librettos and writing your own stories…more to come…To Donate: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/HBCUOPERA #JarrodLee #Oshun #Kandake #librettist #uialiterary JSU meetopera by @jarrodleeopera
