Something for the Weekend: Davóne Tines' cultural picks

Davóne Tines, acclaimed American bass-baritone and cofounder of the American Modern Opera Company, travels to Dundalk to close LCMS Coming Together with Recital No. 1: Mass, a program that reinterprets the mass through Bach, Caroline Shaw, and spirituals. The performance, scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026, at St Nicholas Church of Ireland, Dundalk, frames belief, identity, and transformation as a meditation. Tines recently discussed his cultural picks, citing personal favorites in candy, music, books, and film, and noting that his next album, Revival, is in development. The Coming Together festival, already praised for cross-genre collaboration, offers a platform for his reconsidered mass and ongoing artistic evolution.
