Stages Music Arts presents voice and piano instructor Emily Gradowski in concert, presenting an evening of selections she has always loved - but that also scare her in some way. Whether it is new languages, rapidly changing styles, intense poetry, or simply because the music edges toward the limitations of my vocal technique, each piece was chosen so that I could apply the principles of the Alexander Technique the process of learning and performing new pieces. Emily will be joined by Brennan McShane and Evan Cooper, who will also be trying something new...adapting classical guitar accompaniment for the electric guitar, along with new variations on Baroque Arias. Come see three talented teachers collaborate on this program featuring the music of Mozart, Berlioz, P. Viardot, and Villa-Lobos.
