Art Mag’s Olivia Pool recently caught up with the incredible talented Graves, operatic superstar and MOJA performer, about the festival and what MOJA means to her.

Olivia: You’ve performed in major opera houses all over the world, and this past spring you performed here in Charleston as part of Opera Charleston’s first season. What did you think of the city?

Denyce Graves: Ok. Is there any one on planet earth who wouldn’t find Charleston utterly charming? It’s a beautiful city and I loved every second of being there. The kindness and warmth of the locals are the perfect addition to its allure. A fascinating city!

DG: I am proud of the city of Charleston for taking time to make this recognition and to bring awareness to some of the many contributions that African-Americans & Caribbeans have made in the arts. It’s an honor and makes me so proud to be included in this showcase.

OP: You seem to care a great deal about your friends and family, and work diligently as a voice instructor. What advice do you have for young aspiring artists?

DG: I am conscientious enough not to give advice. Follow your inner voice.
