MGS presents Danielle Talamantes & Kerry Wilkerson, vocal duo
Husband and wife duo, Kerry Wilkerson and Danielle Talamantes light up the stage individually but together their performances bring both their passion for music and each other to an exhilarating level.
Kerry Wilkerson's solo career has taken him from coast to coast performing renowned oratorios and exciting recitals. A resonant singer with unique evenness in register, the Washington Post has described him as an 'exuberant' performer having the 'amber tone of a lyric baritone with the imposing weight demanded by Handel's low-lying writing'. He has enjoyed a celebrated career as a member of the United States Army Chorus; singing and conducting for world leaders, Supreme Court Justices, politicians and dignitaries of many nations during official ceremony and protocol events.
A native of Northern Virginia, Mexian-American soprano Danielle Talamantes made her Carnegie Hall début in a sold-out solo recital in 2007, and was the Soprano in Residence for the Summer 2012 at the Marlboro Music Festival in Marlboro, Vermont. Recent engagements for Talamantes also included the role of Mimì in La bohème with Fairfax Symphony, made her Hawaii Opera Theater début as Violetta in La traviata, performed Beatrice in Il Postino with Virginia Opera, and returned to The Metropolitan Opera for their production of Carmen. An accomplished recitalist, Talamantes was a featured soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, National Philharmonic Chorale & Orchestra, United States Army Band, Oratorio Society of Virginia, Nashville Symphony, Choralis, and the Baltimore Choral Arts Society.
