Joanne and Bill Church West Circle Series
In 1924, the world mourned the passing of multiple renowned composers, including Giacomo Puccini of Italy, Gabriel Fauré of France, and Victor Herbert of the United States. These influential giants bridged the Romantic Era with the rise of the modern Classical Era, and all left an indelible mark with songs that are still celebrated today. In the 100th anniversary year of their passing, vocal artists from the College of Music faculty honor these composers in a concert that explores some of their greatest operatic works and arias.
Highlights of the program include Puccini’s “Nessun dorma” from Turandot and popular selections from La Bohème, Fauré’s lovely song “Ici-bas,” and a variety of charming melodies by Victor Herbert.Vocalists include Jane Bunnell, mezzo-soprano; Marc Embree, bass-baritone; Richard Fracker, tenor; Melanie Helton, soprano; Anne Nispel, soprano; Mark Rucker, baritone; accompanied by pianists Elden Little and Sadie Rucker.Generously sponsored by Dr. Roy and Christine Meland.
