Opera 101 at Rockport Music
As part of Rockport Music’s Community Concerts and Events program, I will be teaching an Opera 101 course at the Shalin Liu Performance Center. It will be a 4-night class designed to lead to a deeper knowledge and appreciation of opera throughout the centuries. This series will be part-lecture-part performance with performances by young professional opera singers and New England Conservatory students. We will be tracing opera from Monteverdi to Wagner and Verdi, full details are below. You can purchase tickets for individual dates or the whole series here
Appalachian Spring at Rockport Shalin Liu Performance Hall
Come join me for a lecture/recital on April 7th at 7 p.m. at the beautiful Shalin Liu Concert Hall! There will be a lecture on Aaron Copland and his contribution to American Music and then afterward students from The Boston Conservatory will perform the original 13-instrument version of his Pulitzer Prize winning composition Appalachian Spring, conducted by Maestro Russell Ger.
