LiveARTS: Concert on November 4 - Music of Leonard Bernstein

JOIN US FOR THE SECOND CONCERT OF OUR SEASON BERNSTEIN AT 100! Music of Leonard Bernstein Sunday, November 4, 2018 3:00 PM with Sandra Piques Eddy, mezzo-soprano David Kravitz, baritone Wayman Chin, piano Brian Moll, piano Metropolitan Opera's Sandra Piques Eddy and baritone David Kravitz team up to celebrate the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein in a LiveARTS concert on Sunday November 4th at the Meetinghouse of the First Universalist Society in Franklin, Massachusetts. The concert will include selections from the musicals  On the Town, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and Wonderful Town, as well as music for piano, performed by Wayman Chin and Brian Moll.  Few composers capture their time and become the iconic voice of their age like Leonard Bernstein. Writing for small ensembles, symphony orchestras, Broadway, film and opera houses, Bernstein projected a simple message of understanding and hope employing both complex and simple forms and styles – yet always sounding like "Bernstein", a voice best known in his score to West Side Story. Mezzo-soprano Sandra Piques Eddy has performed on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera more than 100 times. A Boston native, Ms. Eddy has sung with the Boston Lyric Opera, New York City Opera, and will perform the title role of Carmen on a Japanese tour with Maestro Seiji Ozawa in the coming year before singing with the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston and the New Zealand Opera. Hailed by the New York Times and Opera News, David Kravitz's recent opera engagements include the Washington National Opera, Piccolo Teatro in Milan, Italy and concert performances with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra.  This concert takes place at 3:00 p.m. at the Meetinghouse of the First Universalist Society in Franklin, 262 Chestnut Street. Prior to the concert, Dr. Ann Sears, Professor of Music at Wheaton College, will present a pre-concert talk at 2:30. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, and students are welcome by donation. Tickets are available at the door or by going to our website – liveartsma.org.
