Info:
The Greenwich Village Orchestra's season opening concert, Masters of Lyricism, features works by master songwriters Barber and Schubert, including Barber's spirited Overture to The School for Scandal and his evocative setting of James Agee's poem Knoxville: Summer of 1915 with soprano soloist Rebecca Farley. The orchestra sings in Schubert's Ninth Symphony, "The Great." Music Director Barbara Yahr conducts.
Free reception with the musicians following the concert.
Rising young soprano Rebecca Farley received her master's degree from The Juilliard School as a Kovner Fellow and is now a recipient of the Novick Career Advancement Grant. At Juilliard she appeared as Bubikopf in Ullman's Der Kaiser von Atlantis and as the stratospheric Controller in Jonathan Dove's Flight. Other operatic credits include Pamina in Die Zauberflote, Gilda in Rigoletto, and Nannetta in Falstaff. Most recently, she made her West Coast debut singing Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro conducted by James Conlon. She made her Carnegie Hall debut December 2016 in Bach's Magnificat with The Cecilia Chorus of New York, and her David Geffen Hall debut last March with The National Chorale in Angela Rice's oratorio Thy Will Be Done, which included an aria written specifically for Ms. Farley. Other notable premieres include Jonathan Breit's Der Zippelfaggotist at Carnegie Hall and Sherry Wood's Mara: A Chamber Opera at The Rubin Museum.
