Harper Court Music Series – Aug 3

Harper Court Summer Music Series is a set of free outdoor concerts sponsored by the University of Chicago.  The 2023 music series, hosted by Mario Smith, continues August 3rd  from 6 – 9 pm with opening music by DJ Mr. Jaytoo and a live vocal performance by Opal Staples.

Opal Staples is a force of nature, with a presence that commands any stage. Her gift shines brightest when she sings.  As a professional singer, she has garnered industry wide acclaim by giving her flawless voice to The Oprah Winfrey Show, McDonald’s, Verizon, and FOX top-rated show Empire, The Chi, Chicago PD, and the new drama series 61st. She is BET’s Sunday Best Top 5 and her discography includes work with award winning artists Ramsey Lewis, David Foster, Stevie Wonder, Seal and R. Kelly. She leads the Opal Staples Orchestra, a 22-piece musical marvel whose focus is on classic and contemporary music. Her graceful spirit makes her a joy to listen to.
