The Pre- and Post-Performance Reception Experience

Hosted by Dr. Shantè Williams and Nakisha Procope

Join us for an intimate, invitation-style evening celebrating music, culture, and connection surrounding Lift Every Voice and Sing on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

Your evening begins with a private pre-performance reception where guests gather in elegant company before the concert. After the performance, the celebration continues at an exclusive post-concert reception at the iconic The Dunhill Hotel — a historic boutique hotel known for its timeless elegance, refined ambiance, and intimate luxury in the heart of Uptown Charlotte.

This late-evening gathering is designed for meaningful conversation, curated connection, and a deeper experience of the night alongside fellow guests, artists, and Opera Carolina leadership.

The evening is inspired by the spirit of Dandyism — a celebration of style, individuality, artistry, and self-expression. Guests are encouraged to arrive in their most striking, refined, and expressive attire as we honor Black excellence, creativity, and timeless sophistication.

This is more than a performance. It is a curated cultural experience.
