"Love: Pain and Pleasure" - Bill Townsend, tenor and YiQiao Li, piano
Join us on Sunday, February 23rd at 2pm for Bill Townsend, tenor and YiQiao Li, piano. The singing traditions of Italy, France, and Germany were all born of a desire to marry beautiful melody to the power of words. Composers wove music into words to express humanity's excitement, sadness, anger, and love. To this day the operatic and song repertoire of Europe inspires music from stage to film. This afternoon's recital will feature mainly Italian music written for the enjoyment of any listener with a few choice gems from France and Germany for an hour of stirring musical variety.
