I had a GREAT time last night singing at the Ardsley Country Club in Westchester. I had the honor of meeting Ruth and Ben Armato, who organized the concert. Ben played clarinet with The Metropolitan Opera for 35 years and Ruth was the harpist with the New York Phil for 28 years. These are fascinating people, who I hope to get to know better. They are both inspirational people.
Dinner afterwards in the club dining room was elegant and delicious. The whole event went well...I sang a few of the Louis Spohr songs (in preparation for Lincoln Center on November 22nd) and the chamber ensemble played Brahms, Glinka and Mozart. And the room had a wonderful acoustic. I wish I could sing in there all the time.
More to come...getting ready to return for a Vivaldi "Gloria" on December 6th out at the Midland Theatre in Newark, Ohio. Fun!
