CRS Barn Studio's Songs will present Songs for a September Night September 17. The evening showcases the incredible vocal talent of the Ithaca area. Baritone Steven Stull, sopranos Amanda Demaris, Joanna Manring, Deborah Montgomery-Cove, bass-baritone David Neal and pianist Richard Montgomery - all seen in last season's hit production of Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' - are joined by soprano and Ithaca native Rebecca Leistikow and acclaimed pianist Blaise Bryski. Mezzo-soprano Ivy Walz makes her return performance after completing her Doctorate in Voice at Cincinnati Conservatory. This gifted cast of singers performs with opera companies and orchestras throughout the US and internationally and includes faculty members from Ithaca College and SUNY Cortland.
The varied program includes well-known and less familiar arias and ensembles from the operas of Handel, Mozart, Purcell, and Rossini as well as classic musical theatre favorites, and the intimate space allows a rare "up close and personal experience" of the operatic repertoire.
Artistic Directors Steven Stull and Jeanne Goddard on the grounds of the CRS Barn Studio Following the performance, a gala reception will offer audience members a chance to meet and talk with the artists.
Songs for a September Night on Saturday, September 17 at 7:30 pm, at the CRS Barn Studio, 2622 North Triphammer Road in Ithaca.
