Opera On Tap's Singer's Choice Concert

I’m auditioning/performing with the DC Chapter of Opera On Tap! This is an incredible international organization of singers bringing opera to the people—we will perform at the Wonderland Ballroom, a bar in the Columbia Heights area of Washington DC. It’s a bar, so what’s more appropriate that singing a little “Libiamo” from La Traviata? I’m keeping the Verdi good times going with my own audition selection—Sul fil d’un soffio etesio from Falstaff. Come for a drink, music and infuse your Thursday evening with fun! I appreciate your support in my “audition” portion of the evening—-I’ll be singing sometime around the end of the program, a few drinks in for most.

Conlon Presents Bernstein's Kaddish

Stunning music and profound words combine to awaken our collective dreams of peace and freedom. In Leonard Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony, the Hebrew prayer for times of bereavement sparks a heated exploration of spirit and fate, a testament made all the more poignant with updated words by a Holocaust survivor Samuel Pisar (narrated here by his family). Artistic Advisor James Conlon, leading a heart-wrenching score by the German-Jewish composer Franz Schreker, explores the latest in his series of Recovered Voices, honoring composers silenced by Nazi regime.

Artists
James Conlon, conductor
Judith and Leah Pisar, speakers
Diana Newman, soprano
University of Maryland Concert Choir
Jason Ferdinand, director
Maryland State Boychoir
Stephen Holmes, director

Repertoire
BRAHMS Tragic Overture
SCHREKER Prelude to Die Gezeichneten (The Stigmatized)
