Terry Barber
On Saturday, September 13, at 7:30 P.M., the Highlands Performing Arts Center invites you to step into the dazzling, defiant world of Freddie Mercury—through the soaring voice and soul-stirring storytelling of internationally acclaimed countertenor Terry Barber.
In Mercury: The Life and Music of Queen’s Freddie Mercury, Barber doesn’t merely pay tribute – he opens a window into the heart of a legend. With a four-octave range that echoes Mercury’s own, Barber weaves Queen’s iconic anthems with intimate reflections on the man behind the myth.
From the bravado of “We Are the Champions” to the aching beauty of “Who Wants to Live Forever,” each note is steeped in the triumphs and vulnerabilities of a shy boy who found his roar on stage.
Barber’s performance is more than a concert – it’s a revelation. He traces Mercury’s journey from Zanzibar to superstardom, illuminating the tension between public flamboyance and private fragility. The result is a musical memoir that’s as bold and tender as Mercury himself.
His concept album Reimagined Mercury — considered for eight Grammy nominations — has earned Barber accolades across the globe. With a résumé that includes Chanticleer, the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, and collaborations with artists from Madonna to the London Philharmonic, Barber brings both gravitas and grace to this unforgettable evening.
This is your chance to experience Queen’s music as you’ve never heard it before – through the lens of a master vocalist who understands that behind every anthem lies a story worth telling.
