About the Concert:
Have you have been to a recital and found it to be, well, boring? Where a singer is standing there and you don't know what the heck they are screaming about? Don't worry- we feel the same way! We are the Voices of Women quartet and we have a vision – to take the recital out of recital by presenting a story of songs in a cabaret revue. As four professional trained classical singers, we take influences from everything from opera to jazz, from classical to cabaret, with the goal of focusing these influences towards the expansion of classical repertoire under the guise of a modern stage. On Saturday, October 29th (8 pm) and Tuesday, November 1 (7.30 pm), we are presenting our new recital, “Loss and Find" at the Singers Forum (49 W 24th St # 4). In "Loss & Find," we will explore and earnestly share with you our individual stories in how music and life interchange.
"Loss & Find" is comprised of American Art songs by well-known composers as Lee Hoiby, Ricky Ian Gordon, Ned Rorem and Aaron Copland as well as not so well-known composers, Richard Hageman and Amy Beech. We are thrilled to perform commissioned quartets by contemporary composer, Richard Pearson, who just happens to be accompanying us, as well as featuring local New York City composer, Joseph Turrin. Lastly, Rod Gomez, singer and opera director extraordinaire, will direct the program.
