“I was blown out of my seat by 2014 Kresge Artist Fellow in music, Kisma Jordan. Jordan is an opera singer and songwriter, and she sang a powerful, moving piece that had the whole audience in awe. Her voice was so beautiful and powerful that at the end of her performance, we, the audience, didn’t have a choice but to give her a well-deserved standing ovation”

~ Mishara Walker, Daily Detroit

The OperaSOUL Experience is a revolutionary live concert that breaks boundaries by blending the timeless beauty of operatic vocals with soul-pop music, a unique fusion created by opera singer and composer Kisma Jordan. The OperaSOUL Experience’s highly anticipated and successful debut in 2021 was a highlight of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Cube Summer Sessions series, setting the stage for Kisma to announce a well-crafted soundscape and a fresh take on classical music. The OperaSOUL Mixtape features original self-produced works mashed up with arias. A reimagined rendition of Gnarls Barkley’s GRAMMY® winning “Crazy” and an explosive medley of Nina Simone’s and The Beatles’ “Blackbird.”
