Local Vocal Americana Concert

2017-Feb-26 @ 17:00 - 19:00

$15

Local Vocal was established to give local singers an opportunity to showcase programs of song that have reached classic status. That doesn't necessarily mean only "classical music" (such as opera and art song), but also includes deservedly popular music theatre songs and lighter operetta fare. The song repertoire grows as time passes, and once cutting-edge shows like Wicked and Sweeney Todd have become classics in their own right. A concert comprised of American songs sweeps the decades to pick up a cute patriotic ditty like I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy as well as music from shows set in the heartland of small town America – Carousel in Maine, Show Boat on the ol' Mississippi, State Fair in Iowa, and traversing from Neverland to The Tender Land. For many it will be a trip down memory lane, and yet also a revelation of some wonderful songs that are rarely heard. Well-known Rochester soprano and Eastman Community Education teacher Cecile Saine directs Local Vocal in "Americana", providing continuity in a diverse program accompanied by pianist Alla Kuznetsov. Local Vocal is one of Rochester Lyric Opera's musical outreach programs, providing opportunities to talented performers of all ages who call this area home, and thus the personnel of Local Vocal shifts from concert to concert. This performance will include regional professional singers alongside high school and adult amateur voice students. In addition, the Lyric Theatre's own middle-school choir, Lyric Voices, will open with a charming set from the new musical, Finding Neverland.
