Soprano Julia Bullock, a rising star on the classical music scene, will present a concert at UB on April 13 as part of the Department of Music’s Slee Visiting Artist Series.

The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall, North Campus.

The program will include sets of songs by Franz Schubert and Samuel Barber, as well as work by Gabriel Fauré, Spencer Williams, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday.

As part of her visit to UB, Bullock will teach a master class at 6:30 p.m. April 12 in Baird Recital Hall, 250 Baird Hall, North Campus. The class is free and open to the public.

Hailed as an “impressive, fast-rising soprano” who is “poised for a significant career” by The New York Times, Bullock is equally at home with opera and concert repertoire, captivating and inspiring audiences through her versatile artistry, probing intellect and commanding stage presence.

She helped launch the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 2017-18 season in September, joining Andris Nelsons in the orchestra’s Bernstein Gala; sang Pamina in concert performances of Die Zauberflöte with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in October, and made her San Francisco Opera debut in November in the world premiere of “Girls of the Golden West.”

A native of St. Louis, Bullock is known for integrating her musical life with community activism. She has organized and participated in benefit concerts in support of the FSH Society, the world’s largest patient-driven organization for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy; the Music and Medicine Initiative for New York’s Weill Medical Center; and the Shropshire Music Foundation, a non-profit that serves war-affected children and adolescents through music education and performance programs in Kosovo, Northern Ireland and Uganda.
