The Bernstein Experience

Rebecca Jo Loeb, mezzo; baritone TBD; Michael Barrett and Steven Blier, piano

The hundredth anniversary of the birth of American musical polymath Leonard Bernstein is upon us, and, in collaboration with the Tucson Desert Song Festival, we proudly present emissaries from the New York Festival of Song, a center of exceptional, intimate vocalism, in an all-Bernstein program. The centerpiece is Arias and Barcarolles, his serious, late song cycle for two singers and two pianists, but the program will also be packed with his rambunctious earlier fare, including selections from his Broadway shows. Note the special concert time of 7:30 pm on a Wednesday.
