INSPIRATA:THE BEGINNING

THE CONCEPT: Form a vocal group with four top classical voices: soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone.

THE SINGERS: Recruit known artists from the opera, concert and stage world.

THE MUSIC: Create an exciting new sound, look and style of sacred, classical and contemporary inspirational music.

THE RESULT: The four spectacular voices and one glorious sound of soprano Elizabeth Claxton, mezzo-soprano Cheryse McLeod Lewis, tenor Duane Moody, and baritone Steven Jepson. With the brilliant musical arrangements and piano of Ben Blozan, INSPIRATA elicits rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.

THE PRODUCERS: RCAM Artist Management team of Sonia Lewis and Jillian Leigh.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION: INSPIRATA operates as the outreach arm of Opera Jacksonville, a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax exempt organization. Opera Jacksonville supports classical trained voices and all opportunities to bring to the public classically oriented music, including faith based productions. All proceeds and donations to Opera Jacksonville on behalf of INSPIRATA are 100% used to support INSPIRATA concerts, costs and mission.

INSPIRATA TODAY

When INSPIRATA first formed, it was to provide an opportunity to sing outside the traditional concert, musical and opera stages the singers already graced. Though all of the artists have successful stage and operatic careers, each singer felt the desire to sing beyond the confines that their classically trained voices were taking them. While trying out the music that their management team and the singers wanted to consider, everyone came to the realization that they were first being called to express themselves through the glory of traditional and contemporary sacred music. Thus INSPIRATA's first CD is "Sacred Sounds".

INSPIRATA offers sacred music concerts, along with additional productions that include music from other genres, which also have love and inspiration as their central theme. As such, INSPIRATA produces both faith-based and all embracing inspirational programs. Please see our Programs page for a full list of all concerts and programs.
