New York to Paris, Paris to Paradise
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
Members of Caramoor's 2012 Vocal Rising Stars program;
Steven Blier and Michael Barrett, pianists New Yorkers' and Parisians' eloquent hymns to their hometowns and their dream vacations: Americans in Paris, Parisians in exotic climes. Featuring songs by Ned Rorem, Charles Trenet, Darius Milhaud, Albert Roussel, George Gershwin and others. This concert concludes NYFOS's fourth annual professional training residency at Caramoor.

Please note: Because this program is the product of a training residency for young artists, it will run just under two hours, and will have an intermission. This format will ensure each young artist enough time on stage to spread his or her vocal wings and make the program a meaningful and artistically enriching experience.
