Salon Avec Moi is two years old! We're celebrating with an extra sweet salon at Oberon in Williamsburg April 13th, 7pm-10pm featuring Drag Queen Harsh Babe, soprano Shreya Bhadriraju, and cellist Malachi Brown with pianist Matt Everingham.
As a special guest, we will be joined by Amsterdam based C'est Jeanne, creator of bespoke, couture gloves recently seen worn by artists like Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, and in magazines like Vogue. C'est Jeanne will be present for measurements and try-ons of their gloves that can only be described as works of art.
About the Artists:
You can see Harsh Babe around New York as an iconic lesbian direct action organizer, arts educator, and of course, dyke drag queen. She's booked, she's busy, and she's helping us sweeten this salon just a little more. For Harsh Babe, we'll make a classical art exception (but drag and dykes are ALWAYS the classics).
Shreya Bhadriraju is an Indian-American coloratura soprano from Houston, Texas, currently based in NYC, a graduate of Northwestern University, she is a Fulbright recipient and AmeriCorps VISTA Fellow.Her recent roles include Queen of the Night at the Prague Summer Nights Music Festival and will be joining the Cedar Rapids Opera as a Smith Young Artist as well as the Santa Fe Opera as an Apprentice for their 2026 season.
Malachi Brown, cellist and composer from Norfolk, Virginia, Brown graces the concert stage, animated features, and films, all while sharing stages with Toshi Reagon, Sigur Rós, and Ellie Goulding, and making his Lincoln Center debut in The Parable of the Sower. His performances with the Wordless Music Orchestra and Mac-Haydn Theatre highlight his versatility across genres. As a member of the Dream Quartet, he combines technical mastery with an expressive, genre-fluid approach to performance.

A note from Salon Avec Moi founder
Hi, my name's Karlye Whitt. I'm an ex/recovered opera singer currently in Brooklyn, NY, an employee of the non-profit performing arts, mother to a fluffy cloud of a cat named Cappi, with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and Masters in Performing Arts Admin. During my time on both sides of the table in the opera industry I witnessed the disconnect of community and the classical arts and the individuals that world caters and bends itself to. Meanwhile my friends and I indulged in our vices and sang to our own salons at weddings, graduation celebrations, and get togethers. A safe place to run a piece for the first time, a place to sing a role you would never actually perform, to be nostalgic, to be together in the moment. I hope you walk away from the salon feeling like you belong because that's how our salons have always felt to me.
