Italian Opera at the Emerson


We're getting ready for our next concert at the Emerson. We love singing in the Great Room, and this time we're focusing on opera in Italian. Not hard for us, as most of our repertoire is in Italiano, but focusing purely on Italian is very nice- and the opportunity to pair the musical delights with Italian culinary specialties is rewarding. Our friend, Chef Kurt is organizing the food and wine. We've invited a couple of wonderful guest singers along- the lovely soprano, Kimberly Kahan and the very talented young tenor, CJ Sokolowski. I recently sang with Kimberly in a concert with the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra, and she's such an endearing performer. CJ made a great impression at the Festival last year, and will be a real treat to hear him sing again.

So here is the blurb!
