My concert series, A Potpourri of Song℠, has a new production in Brooklyn in March: Dueling Divas, Two Women in Conflict and Cooperation. St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, at Classon and Willoughby Avenues in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, hosts this concert on Sunday, March 10 at 5:00 p.m. Mezzo-soprano Esther Hickman, soprano Cynthia Simeone, myself as pianist, composer Douglas Anderson, and librettist Andrew Joffe collaborate to present this program. The concert features the world premiere of Cassandra Songs, by Dr. Anderson and Mr. Joffe, three duets from operas and shows by Mozart, Delibes and Bernstein, and a comic duet by Rossini — for two cats!
A reception, full of food and drink, will follow so that all can greet the artists and each other. Tickets are available in advance or at the door for a donation of $15. For more information and tickets, call the church at (718) 638–2090, call me at (917) 502–5761, or send an email to office.stmarysclintonhill@verizon.net .
This is a special production for me
and my colleagues, especially since it includes the first
performance of Cassandra Songs. Also, the five of us have
a rich history of working together — composing, acting,
performing, accompanying, singing — in many productions at a long
list of venues. We continue to cooperate and collaborate together
throughout the New York Metropolitan area, and it is a great joy
for me to have organized this concert with these, my friends and
dear colleagues.
St. Mary's was fortunate to have received a grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council for two other performances this calendar year — An Inauguration Community Celebration, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January, and June Jazz to occur the first Friday of... well... June! St. Mary's is positioning itself to serve as a center for performing arts in the future, and A Potpourri of Song℠ is part of the mix.
I sincerely hope that you and your friends may attend this performance. Many thanks for your consideration and for spreading the word. Hope to see you there!
