lisa e. and the nights of malta

Lisa E. Harris is a concert, performance and recording artist based out of Houston, Brooklyn and Westmoreland Jamaica.She founded Studio E-nertia in 2007 to meet the needs of her multi-media show "THE MUSE AND HER GENIUS" and future artistic endeavors. "THE MUSE AND HER GENIUS" is a semi-staged concert of classical, modern and original art songs that tell Harris's fable of the creation of day and night. Accompanied by THE NEGROE SPIRITUALS: poet/narrator, guitar, dancer and film imager, Lisa E. is setting the Globe on a new axis, Her Own.Currently a soprano with the HOUSTON GRAND OPERA, 2005 VH1 Songwriter of the Year finalist and Runner-up Lisa E. Harris completed her first electro/beat infused album last year, entitled "Ms. Everything-The Demo Years." This album plays more as a mixtape with a little bit of everything for everyone present, exhibiting Lisa's natural mutability while hinting at classical aesthetics in a palattable way. This Houston native, initially transplanted to NYC to attend the Mannes College of Music, where she received a BM(Bachelor of Music) in Vocal Performance. She continued her studies at the Manhattan School of Music receiving her Master of Music degree in 2004. Conservatory by day /jazz scene by night, musical theatre as a child/hip-hop and rock throughout Life, has graduated a very ecclectic perspective on sounds intertwined. With a concentration on Opera, Lisa E. loves all things theatrical, dramatic, comedic, truthful, well put and of course, in good taste.Experimental shows with her band, The Big Bang theory, led Lisa E to realize that although spontanaeity is vital and key for a form of live, performance art, rehearsal is just as appropos. Thus is born the Nights of Malta, or the maltese nights, as we like to call ourselves at home, a band just for you and me. Currently touring as The Negroe Spirituals.In March 2006, Lisa E performed a live installation at Paul Rodgers 9W Gallery in West Chelsea as a part of "The Forces of Nature" series by painter Angelbert Metoyer. Ms. Harris was commissioned by Metoyer in 2004 to compose and perform a supplemental short Opera to accompany his show, 13 Moments in a Black Sunrise, which is also a part of the aformentioned series. Recent performances include La Boheme at Houston Grand Opera, private showings at The Midtown Art Center, Christmas Eve Mass Live from St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, where Lisa E. was a professional soloist and section leader for several years. 2005 marked the premiere of her photOpera, a photo montage/ operatic impromptu collaboration with photographer alisha b. wormsley, installed in 3 segments at Java studios in Greenpoint.
