SOLDIERS, SAILORS & CELEBRATION

I realize most of the people reading my blog aren't local enough to us to come hear us sing, but I figure I will post concert details here anyway! This is what you could be hearing if you, like my parents, were visiting us this weekend. I'm very much looking forward to it!

All music is being sung in original languages, which, in this case, means Italian, French and Russian. Two of the three soloists are from the St. Petersburg Theatre of Opera and Ballet's Mussorgsky Theatre. The third, Elizabeth Linnartz, is on the Duke music faculty.
