Dear Readers,
My busy week of rehearsals and concerts ended tonight. I preformed 4 of Michaèl Fiacc's compositions for tenor and piano. I collaborated with Michael and Joan Krueger on the 4 world: "You Cannot Dream Things Lovelier," "Juan 's Song: When Beauty Breaks And Falls Asunder," "Toilet Seats," and "When You Are Old And Grey."
This was the first time that I have had the good fortune to perform with Joan. It was a true pleasure. It was a busy night for Joan and Michael, one which they made look and sound effortless. They traded off about 12 songs of Michael's 150 song ouvre.
The night also included music and performances by Nika Leoni, Lisa Ralia Heffter, and Waundell Saavedra. The ensembles ranged from piano vocal to string quartet to chamber poets to violin and piano to bass with bass. The music was preformed with grace and dedication. I couldn't have asked for a better and more dedicated group.
A big bravo and bravi a tutti to the performers and composers of tonight's enlightening evening.
Cheers to Empire Opera,
thanks for reading
Joe
