In the grand tapestry of classical music and opera, rare are the moments when art not only mirrors history but becomes a beacon of its vibrancy and potential. Arbour Artists’ own Kenneth Kellogg(Bass) and Joshua Stewart(Tenor) have recently embodied such a moment, bringing to life the complexities and courage of Malcolm X in Seattle Opera’s production of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X.

As we navigate the complexities of artistic interpretation and historical legacy, Arbour Artists’ roster continues to pioneer new realms of classical excellence. Kenneth Kellogg, with his rich bass voice, does not merely perform; he commands the stage as Malcolm X, encapsulating the spirit and struggle of one of history’s most dynamic figures. Similarly, Tenor Joshua Stewart, with versatility and vocal brilliance, traverses two demanding roles—Street, the worldly wise hustler, and the elderly Elijah Muhammad—showcasing a range that spans the depths of character and time.
