Lauren Jelencovich. The Savannah Voice Festival kicks off its first series of live performances since the Pandemic began on May 13 and May 16 as classically-trained international star Lauren Jelencovich headlines both concerts. The second concert, Back to Before – A Live Jukebox Experience, will be a more experimental concert set at Hospice Savannah.
The Savannah Voice Festival is a non-profit with the mission to bring classical vocal music to the city. They are primarily focused on a two-week festival in August which will be celebrating its ninth incarnation this year. Last year’s festival was virtual.
“Typically, in a non-COVID world, May would be when we announce our dates for our August concert, but this offers us a chance to dip our toes in the live-performance water,” said SVF Executive Director Maria Zouves.
As much fun as it’s been to watch live musical performances in our sweatpants from the comfort of our own homes, there’s also a sense of relief to see live performances slowly return to normal.
Last year, the Savannah VOICE Festival had to rearrange its entire season due to COVID. Everyone got creative to continue bringing music to the masses via the Internet.
This year, the festival is able to hold two separate in-person events in May. “Typically, the Savannah VOICE Festival has always had a May event that launches the season,” said Maria Zouves, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Savannah VOICE Festival.
