We’re excited to announce that this year’s Caterina Jarboro Memorial Concert, scheduled for Friday, Feb. 14, spotlights baritone-on-the-rise Thandolwethu Mamba. Mamba should be familiar to our La Traviata audiences: he sang the role of Baron Douphol, who famously doesn’t get the girl despite his efforts and his well-stocked wallet.
Since that 2023 engagement, Mamba has been very busy with a variety of operatic and concert performances, and we are very lucky indeed that he found time for us in his schedule. A native of Eswatini and a proud Duke University grad, Mamba is delightful on stage and off. You won’t want to miss this Valentine’s Day treat!
The concert takes place in the acoustically stunning Beckwith Recital Hall, located in UNCW’s Cultural Arts Building. Parking is adjacent. You can purchase your tickets here.
