What is striking is that she has so little vocal presence apart from the music she sings. She can float a beautiful high note, but the singing that was called for her was a straightforward, almost childlike sound, and that\u2019s what she delivered: a voice free of operatic allures, sometimes sounding taxed and a little frayed by the demands of the music. It was a kind of singer-songwriter approach from an artist who specializes in reinventing herself for the pieces that she champions and who was here very much one of the guys in a truly refreshing program.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Purchase tickets for Dawn&#8217;s Ravina Festival performance\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravinia.org\/ShowDetails\/Index?id=1467\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Read the article in the Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/entertainment\/music\/folk-songs-refracted-soprano-and-percussion-revisit-americana\/2018\/04\/06\/4f54e654-39c1-11e8-9c0a-85d477d9a226_story.html?utm_term=.de6c0ca9a3a5\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/1980sclassnews\/files\/2018\/06\/2RXG67BZDQI6RD6SJH7DYZ22RE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2106 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/1980sclassnews\/files\/2018\/06\/2RXG67BZDQI6RD6SJH7DYZ22RE-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/1980sclassnews\/files\/2018\/06\/2RXG67BZDQI6RD6SJH7DYZ22RE-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/1980sclassnews\/files\/2018\/06\/2RXG67BZDQI6RD6SJH7DYZ22RE.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dawn Upshaw &#8217;82 will be performing at the indoor theatre at the upcoming Ravina Festival,\u00a0the oldest outdoor music festival in the United States, with a series of outdoor concerts and performances held every summer from June to September.
